What is a Stake?
Congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are organized geographically and members attend worship services near their home. Each member belongs to a stake, which is similar to a Catholic diocese. Each stake is comprised of several congregations called wards or branches. There are usually 5 to 12 wards and branches in a stake.
