This paper is on “The Effect of Global Insecurities on the Church in the Post-Corona World: A Study Case of the Church in Africa”. Wuhan, China was where the pandemic started in December 2019. The pandemic spread to all the nations of the world contextually; it has caused human deaths, disrupted health security and social life, hindered African cultural security, caused economic down tone, and plagued religious congregational meetings leading to a decline in the Church’s income, etc., in Africa. Obviously, the world has not overcome the negative psychological and economic shock caused by this deadly disease. Yet, an increase in the global insecurities from other agents of insecurity in the post-corona world has been recorded. The world, contextually, the church in Africa is plagued by the rise of insecurities that have made development unattainable. Today, Africa is faced with many challenges which have great negative effects on the church and holistic growth. Terrorism, conflict, border closures, health challenges, economic crises, political uproar, and so on have great negative influence on the church in Africa and other sectors of the nations of the world. The paper investigates into the pre-security challenges era of the church in Africa. Moreover, the paper investigates how the church in Africa has deviated from fundamental Christian cultural originality as a consequence of the post- corona effects and negative influence of the other agents of insecurity on the church in Africa. The concomitant effect of the aforementioned agents of insecurity on the church and the general societies in Africa are examined. Furthermore, this paper hopes to give some suggestive panaceas to ameliorate effects of the agents of insecurity on the church in Africa. The research methods utilized in this paper consist of the socio-historical, internet explorations, interviews, and analytical approaches.
