Abstract
The desire to belong is one important aspect of humankind. Certainly to be a member of a family is a blessing and more so to belong to God’s family—the Church. The article discussed extensively the Church and the African family using historical method. It was discovered that the first two attempts of Christianity into Africa failed because it was not rooted in African culture. The article plumed into some aspects of African culture that could help the Church in Africa to stand solid. It became clear that the model of the extended family system in Africa was paramount. Furthermore, the Incarnation model where Jesus incarnated himself into the Jewish culture was also to be adopted. In light of these analyses and discussions, the article recommended the implementation of inculturation as a way forward for the building of a solid well rooted African Church as a family of God’s people.
