Abstract

The importance of growth and the impact of ecclesiology through the twentieth century brings a rich understanding of Christianity throughout the Sub-Sahara. It not only highlights strategies, missions, and education, but also brings up sociological matters like the prosperity gospel, LGBTQ orientation, migration, and the diversity that comes from how the gospel has been understood. It looks at the different ways that Christianity has spread and the churches that have emerged as a result. It is impossible to talk about the diversity, growth, and historical aspects of this region without talking about the fast pace of the Christian movement and the impact it has left on its people and each country’s future. African Christianity has been striving to develop ways to grow and learn since it was first introduced by Western society.
