Church members serving in the Air Force and Navy and their families represented the first presence of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bermuda. On 16 July 1953, a group of servicemen's wives organized a Relief Society (women's organization) operating under the Church's Eastern States Mission. Worship services among the military personnel were held beginning 8 October 1961.
Arthur L. McMullin and his wife, Melba, arrived 19 April 1966, and received permission to proselyte. On 31 May, Elders Kenneth R. French and Curt S. Call arrived and began proselytizing.
The Bermuda Branch (a small congregation), with about 50 members, was organized 25 June 1966. This branch was made part of the New York New York Mission in 1974. In 1993, Bermuda was included in the New York New York South Mission.
