Abstract
This research examined the impact of insecurity on the moral values of
Christians in Kaduna State, Nigeria, using a descriptive survey design. A
sample of 605 participants was randomly drawn from a population of
3,765,843, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire and
analyzed using mean scores. The results showed that insecurity has negatively
impacted Christian moral values, leading to a decline in worship participation,
growing mistrust, moral deterioration, and the weakening of spiritual and
communal bonds. The study concludes that insecurity has profoundly eroded
the moral fabric of Christians in the region by disrupting religious practices
and fostering ethical compromises. It recommends that the government
enhance security measures and intelligence efforts in affected areas to restore
peace and confidence, while Christian leaders should reinforce moral and
spiritual teachings through outreach, counseling, and initiatives that foster
unity, forgiveness, and resilience.
