A total number of 897 copies of questionnaire were distributed to the respondents and 810 copies representing 90.3% were duly filled and returned. The data collected through the questionnaire was presented and analysed using tables.The interview conducted served as complementary data in the discussion. In the analysis of the data: sex and position in the church were the demographic variables analysed with frequencies and percentages.

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.
