This study was conducted to examine the challenges and prospects of church planting in Nigeria. Church planting is among the visions of numerous denominations and even other faiths like Islam. The intention or motive is to convey the message (gospel) of the Jesus Christ to as many as possible. This is not far from the instruction given by Jesus Christ himself when he admonished his disciples to preach the word of God from Judea, to Samaria and then to the uttermost part of the world, Nigeria inclusive. This study focused on examining the reasons behind church planting and the challenges encountered during church planting. In the course of this study, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was particularly chosen as a case study to draw findings via responses which is consider reliable enough to assume a conclusion. Employing a survey research design, 109 respondents from the RCCG from three provinces were enrolled in the study. The findings from the study revealed that increase in church worshippers is one of the major reasons that has led to church planting. Furthermore, the study also identified huge financial commitment as a major challenge hindering church planting.
