摘要

本研究利用深度访谈来研究COVID-19大流行的限制和封锁对尼日利亚小型教会会众的影响。因此，它探讨了结构和社会限制的小型教会如何应对当时的严重限制，以及这些限制对事工、社会影响和增长的影响。虽然大流行病除其他外使教会具有创造性，但它挑战了成员的能力，即使它为“一夫多妻制”的崇拜者和不上教堂的人开辟了空间。然而，我们发现疫情对尼日利亚教会增长没有直接影响。

God in all Things: Small Congregations and Surviving the COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria.

This study utilized in-depth interviews for examining the impact of the restrictions and lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic on small church congregations in Nigeria. Thus, it explored ways and means through which small congregations with structural and social limitations dealt with the severe restrictions of the period as well as the impact of these on ministry, social reach and growth. While the pandemic inter alia made the churches creative, it challenged the capacity of members even as it opened-up spaces for "polygamous" worshippers and the unchurched. However, we identified that there was no direct impact of the pandemic on church growth in Nigeria.
