Abstract


This paper sought to explore the church’s integrity in Nigeria using a philosophical approach. Integrity is a character quality that we often talk about but do not see quite as regularly in the lives of public officials or even in the lives of the people we live and work with. The researchers adopt expository method in carrying out this work. However, a person of integrity is living rightly, not divided, nor being a different person in different circumstances. A person of integrity is the same person in private that he or she is in public. Recommendation was made among them are: individuals should practice integrity whenever they found themselves. The church leaders should try to be consistency in setting a standard for emulation by their congregation through constant practice and beckoning of pardon anytime found wronged.
