dc.description.abstractThroughout history, religious organizations have been a prominent part of shaping the society. Christianity has influenced creative and controlling aspects of early societies and significantly affected early forms of government. Christian heritage, in part, shaped many countries’ cultural identity and values, including their economy. Nigeria has huge strategic importance to the continent of Africa and to the globe at large. Nigeria nation is about the most populous country in Africa with a population of more than 200 million and is blessed with many mineral resources including oil/gas, gold, lead zing, limestone, salt, etc. Nigeria is still considered to be a poor country with a low gross domestic product. Day in day out, several socio-economic related crises loom and abject poverty has engulfed the citizenry. This socio-economic problem has caused many of our youth to run to other economic advanced countries and the development of the country continue to be hampered because of its weak institutions, consumptive cultures, fragile and political structures. This paper examined the role of the church in wealth creation and employment opportunities. The churches to promote wealth creation and employment opportunities within their congregations and communities is of great significance and that they can achieve this through a range of initiatives and collaborations that empower individuals, foster entrepreneurship and contribute to sustainable economic development. This work therefore recommended that Churches should discourage indolence, facilitate wealth creation, create more employment opportunities to reduce poverty in our society.
