The Mormon Church is currently divided up into regional units of various sizes. The most basic organizational unit is known as a ward and is placed under the direction of the local bishop, who has been delegated the authority to preside over that particular ward. A group of wards is known as a stake and is led by a stake president.

The world is also divided into units known as missions, which are under the direction of mission presidents. A geographical mission is the area to which Mormon missionaries are called and where they will serve. Missions can be so large that they contain a number of countries, or so small they include only a portion of a city. (Santiago, Chile, is comprised of four missions.) Additionally, there are a number of auxiliary programs which operate at ward, stake, and Church-wide levels. These include the women’s Relief Society, the Young Women’s and Young Men’s Organizations, and the Primary Organization for children under age 12.
