The Mapleton 26th ward was formed in July 2019. The first bishop called to preside over the ward was W. Justin Dyer. The original 26th Ward Council included the following:

1st Counselor: Michael Bird

2nd Counselor: Jeremy Bone

Clerk: Donald Blackburn

Executive Secretary: Thomas Quist

Elders Quorum President: Paul Snyder

Relief Society President: Connie Collier

Young Women President: Caren Winters

Young Men President: Jed Finlinson

Sunday School President: Aaron Chournos

Primary President: Anita Bennion

During preliminary discussions, the ward council decided that unity among ward members would be their main focus. This would be accomplished through personal outreach efforts and social activities. As families move into and out of the ward, we seek new ways to strengthen each other. 

Karl Allan and Marvin Nelson were later called upon to serve as counselors to Bishop Dyer.

A new bishopric was sustained March 3, 2024. Jed Finlinson was called as bishop, Karl Allan as 1st Counselor, and Ryan De Jesus as 2nd Counselor.
