Catholics, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Assemblies of God are churches that reported gains in members. The report is highlighted in The National Council of Churches’ 2010 Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches. The 78th annual edition of the yearbook also reports a continuing decline in membership of virtually all mainline denominations. The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s second largest denomination and long a reliable generator of church growth, reported a decline in membership for the second year in a row, down 0.24 percent to 16,266,920. The Catholic Church, the nation’s largest at more than 68 million members, also reported a slight membership loss in 2009, but rebounded this year with a robust growth of 1.49 percent. The Latter-day Saints grew 1.71 percent to 5,873,408 members and the Assemblies of God grew 1.27 percent to 2,863,265 members, according to figures reported in the 2010 yearbook.
