In the test of hypothesis one, the groups involved differed in their opinion on the role of Church of Christ in Nations in the moral development of orphans. Hypothesis two, three and four showed no significant difference in opinion on the role of Church of Christ in Nations in academic and economic development of orphans as well as ways the church can improve in the development of orphans in Plateau State.
