Abstract

Investigating the most lucrative and fastest organizations that have gained a widespread outreach through digitally enabled and remote logistics, the church happens to be one in this 21st century. Sequel to that, the roles of the church has extended beyond her spiritual mandate to include a significant focus on social responsibilities. The Church as an institution to some measure can boast of certain reasonable financial capability be it privately owned churches or otherwise. This paper through the meaning of social responsibilities, importance, challenges and other strategies examines the church involvements in contributing to the betterment of the society. Through some methods, findings have confirmed the urgent need for the church to engage in social responsibilities. This is especially in connection to the current condition of Nigerian's political negligence and recurring crisis. This paper would give a deep insight on emphasis such as poverty alleviation, education, healthcare and justice etcetera as areas where interventions are urgently needed.
