dc.description.abstractConflict always has negative connotation. Humans have made concerted efforts to prevent conflict in their day to day relationship; however, conflicts are inevitable in any human relationship. Leadership conflict is very common in the church from the New Testament time till today. Previous studies on leadership conflicts in the Church have always centered on the evils of conflicts with little or no attention paid to the role in Church growth. The aim of this paper is to examine leadership conflict as an impetus for church growth in Nigeria. The method used was historical. It was discovered that leadership conflicts have been used by God for the growth of the Church in Nigeria. Christianity has the record of expansion by reason of conflicts. From the era of Apostles in the Acts of the Apostles through the reformation period to the time of the 21st century, the church grew rapidly in conflict times. In Nigeria, the mission church had their own share of leadership conflict. The Aladura and the Pentecostals that are spreading like wild fire today is mostly product of conflicts. Conflict could be a divine instrument for church growth. It is therefore hoped that Nigerian Christian Leaders in our Churches today will use conflict to achieve Church growth.
