First Pohnpeian-speaking ward outside Micronesia created in U.S.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has created its first Pohnpeian-speaking ward outside Micronesia, in the United States. The congregation will serve Pohnpeian-speaking members, many of whom have migrated from the Federated States of Micronesia. The move reflects the church's practice of organizing language-based units so members can worship in their native tongue.
Why now: It marks a milestone for the growing Pohnpeian diaspora community and the church's expanding language-specific congregations in the U.S.
