Abstract
Migration is a global phenomenon among humans. It is an activity that is carried out by humans in every generation. People migrate from one place to another for different reasons such as economy, social, religious and so on. Individuals migrate because they think that they can improve their own lives or those of their families by doing so. The individual’s decision to migrate involves a process of weighing up potential costs and benefits. Contemporary Christian faithful are fond of migrating from one Church or denomination to another. This paper examined the factors responsible for migration of Christians from the mainline to the Neo-Pentecostals churches in Nigeria and its Implications. Historical and Interview methods were used for the study.
