Abstract
Just like every other human organization, the church is entangled with issues and problems, some of which are spiritual leadership and administrative problem, doctrinal, interpretation of values and etiquette, continued exodus of members, illiteracy, disenchanted youth, financial and economic problems, among others, the aftermath of which resulted into politics within the church and schism which had hitherto negatively affected church growth and development.
