Georgia Macon Mission
The South Carolina Columbia and Georgia Atlanta missions will be realigned to create a mission in Macon, Ga. The realignment will leave the Columbia mission with four stakes, all in South Carolina; and the Atlanta mission with five stakes and the Macon mission with five stakes, all in Georgia. The Columbia mission has a membership of 13,600 and a population of some 3 million. The Atlanta mission has 16,200 members and a population of about 3.5 million. The new mission has a membership of 13,800, and a population of nearly 2.7 million.
Much of the new mission is in agricultural areas, according to Pres. John E. Fowler of the Atlanta mission.
``The Macon area particularly is projected to grow rapidly,'' he said.
Creation of the Macon mission will also permit the Atlanta mission to focus on growth in the central part of the city, where several small branches have been created recently.
Most of the stakes in the Atlanta area saw a 60-to-80-percent increase in convert baptisms last year.
