The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in French Polynesia (original) (raw)

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the French Polynesia refers to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its members in French Polynesia. The LDS Church in French Polynesia was founded in 1843 as the first foreign-language mission of the church. It existed until 1852 when it was closed due to restrictions by the French government, and the missionaries left the territory. In 1892, the mission resumed with the return of the missionaries after general religious tolerance was established.
