As of 31 December 2022, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reported 281 members in one congregation, the Douglas Ward,[2] in the Isle of Man.

The first missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to proselyte in the British Isles arrived in 1837 but none reached the Isle of Man until John Taylor, Hiram Clark and William Mitchell travelled from Liverpool, England and landed at Douglas on 17 September 1840.

[4][5] Taylor rented the Wellington Rooms in Douglas and managed to draw large crowds to see him preach and debate with other preachers.

A poem, The Mormonites' Address to the Manxies was published in Mona's Herald in April 1841 satirising them: By July 1856 emigration to the Salt Lake area of Utah had so depleted the conference overseeing the island that it was closed and merged with the Liverpool conference in England.

[8] At the same time opposition to Latter-day Saints on the island was intensifying and, in August 1857, two missionaries trying to deliver lectures on the Book of Mormon had to close the meeting due to a large crowd threatening violence who proceeded to follow them back to their lodgings.
