Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In Church Growth in African Diaspora Communities: Yoruba Shaped Ecclesiology and Mission, AraOluwa Paul Ayokunle, PhD (Liverpool Hope University), a UK-based Nigerian Baptist minister, aims to identify the dynamics surrounding migration among African Diaspora Congregations (ADCs).Ayokunle argues that meaningful church growth among Africans in the UK must pay attention to these dynamics.He is particularly concerned that little attention has been paid to identity change as a factor in church growth among Africans in the UK.He ably demonstrates that contextual realities affect people's identity and their response to church operation.
