摘要

This study utilized in-depth interviews for examining the impact of the restrictions and lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic on small church congregations in Nigeria. Thus, it explored ways and means through which small congregations with structural and social limitations dealt with the severe restrictions of the period as well as the impact of these on ministry, social reach and growth. While the pandemic inter alia made the churches creative, it challenged the capacity of members even as it opened-up spaces for “polygamous” worshippers and the unchurched. However, we identified that there was no direct impact of the pandemic on church growth in Nigeria.
