Over the years, various denominations have evolved from various Church tradition. However, denomination as a concept is said to be religious subgroup that follow some basic religious doctrines. On the basis of this research, some nagging problems arose which makes the growth of the Church seems hindered and these include but not limited to leadership problem, economic, and social problems among others. This study therefore examines denominational practices and its significant effects on Church growth. Also, it examines the relationship between Church growth and Church health. The methods implored here are historical, phenomenological and interpretative approaches. In the course of this research, it was discovered that Christianity which was introduced in Nigeria over 150 years ago has grown over the years to claim an estimate of between 40% of the population. It is worth noting that Christianity is a major religious tradition in Nigeria and has significant impact in lives and culture of people. The work therefore recommends that the Church is the theatre of the Holy Spirit irrespective of denominational differences. Hence, people should seek the Holy Spirit and also growth of the Church should not be based on orthodoxy, rather on orthopraxis to change Nigeria for better just as this research helps us find out that at its best, the Church Growth Movement (C.G.M) and the Church Health Movement (C.H.M) grew out of missional understanding of the Church.
