A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) who chooses to serve a mission can choose from several different opportunities.
Full-time missionaries serve away from home and devote all their time to missionary work. Full-time missionaries include men ages 19-25 who serve for a period of two years, women ages 21-25 who serve for a period of 18 months, and retired married couples with no dependant children living at home, who may serve for a period of 18 months to three years.
Part-time missionaries usually serve in their communities and devote a few days per week to missionary work, and the rest of their time with their regular lives. Usually these missionaries are not proselyting, but serve in administrative or humanitarian capacities. Part-time missionaries are usually single or married adults or retired couples.
I don't know that any of the more popular Mormon singers quit to go on missions. Popular Mormon singers such as David Archuleta, Brandon Flowers, Gladys Knight, and Donny Osmond did not (or have not as yet) served missions. Other Mormon singers who have served missions did not quit the music industry but continued recording when their mission was over.
I happen to be mormon.... I'm one.
As of December 2010, there are 344 missions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) around the world.
Yes, women serve full-time missions for the Mormon church. Unlike men who may only serve between the ages of 19-26, women may serve any time after the age of 21. Both men and women must be single when they serve. Married couples serve missions together after about age 65. Another difference is that men serve for 2 years. Women serve for 18 months and couples serve for 12-18 months.
I'm pretty positive they aren't. I know they have had some involvement with Campus Crusade for Christ which is an evangelical Christian missions organization.
