摘　　要：The thrust of the paper shows that with the application of the tenets of Democracy, the Church in Nigeria has significant role to play especially in governance issues. The Church cannot be delinked from the state since they need each other for the peaceful co-existence of various groups in the society. Accordingly, Democracy and Church in Nigeria today are partners in progress and not strange bedfellows. Undoubtedly, room for improvement exists still as both are geared towards the social, spiritual, cultural, economic, scientific and technological development. Their ultimate goal is to equip the people with self-transforming knowledge which they will use to change their environment and execute whatever task that they are assigned. Consequently, using an expository investigative and analytic method, the paper challenges that the issues of good governance must be carried out continuously to ensure harmonious co-existence and attainment of a just and nobler society. The Church, as the harbinger of hope, must be at the frontline to fight every ugly behaviour against the principles of democratic governance.
