Abstract
The phenomenon of new Emerging Christian Churches is a complex one and the
response to them cannot be a simple one; it is only a combination of several elements that
will bring about a kind of effective remedy. Among other efforts, the main stream
churches urgently need to provide solid formation on the youth ministry in schools at all
levels and in their respective religious affiliations .They need to support for their youth,
make better more resolutely on the inculturation of the liturgy. The efforts in the main
stream churches which are genuine antidotes to sects need to be encouraged and
strengthened more. These include small Christian communities and the movements in the
church such as Catholic Charismatic Renewal and Focolare which, do not only help to
strengthen the faith of the youth, but also provide what the youth would otherwise go out
to look for in sects .Thus the teaching of Christian Religious education in Secondary
schools will remain relevant not only to impact/Knowledge to students, but also to instill
in them Christian moral standards. The subject further, provides an environment in which
Christian values can be demonstrated in action .This calls for conviction of each ones ,
faith.
