| dc.description.abstract | Christianity came to the African continent many centuries ago as a small mustard seed. Today, it has recorded tremendous growth after undergoing some changes; in form of renewal, transformation, reformation, and revivals. Volumes have been written on the Impacts of the Mission Established Churches to the growth of Christianity in Nigeria with little or no attention paid to the Pentecostal Churches that emerged around the turn of the 20th century. This study therefore, is an attempt to bring to the fore the impacts of the Pentecostal on the growth of Christianity in Africa with reference to Nigeria. The Method used is historical. It was discovered that Pentecostal Churches through their style of worship have been able to contextualise the Christian faith and thus enhanced growth. Hence, for Christianity to make the expected impacts in Africa it must embrace the African worldview. | |
