Insights on Christian Stewardship and it's Sustainability in the Technological Era among Member Churches of Christian Council of Nigeria, Agbede, Ikorodu Lagos State

The rapid rise of digital technology, growing financial pressures, and ongoing environmental challenges have raised new questions about what Christian stewardship means today. Although many theological discussions exist, this study examined how members of the Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) in Agbede, Ikorodu, Lagos, understand and practise stewardship in a world shaped by technology, economic uncertainty, and environmental change. This study employs a qualitative case study design within an interpretive–empirical practical theological framework to examine Christian stewardship as lived and interpreted within a Nigerian ecclesial context. Focusing on member churches of the Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) in Agbede-Omolaye, Ikorodu, Lagos State,specifically Baptist, Methodist, and Anglican congregations. The research explores stewardship as a multidimensional theological and ethical practice shaped by digital transformation, economic precarity, and environmental challenges. Prioritising contextual meaning-making, communal theological reflection, and lived experience over statistical generalisation, the study analyses how church members negotiate financial, digital, and environmental responsibilities in everyday Christian practice. The findings reveal both progress and tension: digital platforms such as WhatsApp, Spotify, and Facebook enhance communication, learning, and financial transparency, yet also introduce risks of misinformation and exclusion; financial stewardship displays resilience amid economic hardship; and environmental responsibility, though theologically affirmed, remains weak in practical implementation. By linking stewardship to sustainability, the study contributes to practical theology, digital religion, and environmental ethics, offering context-specific insights for church leaders seeking to strengthen digital literacy, financial accountability, and ecological responsibility as integral dimensions of contemporary Christian life.
