The study was carried out in the four parishes of; Amusus, Amuria, Asamuk, and Wera, under Amuria archdeaconry. The objectives of the study were to explore: first, the divisions in the Corinthian church and how Paul addresses them in 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; second, the divisions among some Christians and church leaders in Amuria archdeaconry, and thirdly, using Paul’s teaching about unity in 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 to address the problem of divisions among some Christians and church leaders in Amuria archdeaconry. To help gather information about divisions among Christians in Amuria archdeaconry, a purposive sample size of 40 respondents was used. These respondents included; clergy/priests, lay readers, other lay church leaders (heads of laity, mothers union chairpersons, youth leaders, mission and prayer leaders), and Christians of sound mind. The findings from the field indicate Christians and some church leaders cling to groups like; prayer and deliverance, revivalists, reawakens, and the trumpeters group. These divisions are caused by: desire to express spiritual gifts, need for money and fame, lack of sound biblical knowledge especially on the use of spiritual gifts. These divisions have led to many challenges like; continued rifts in the church, denial of some church leaders by Christians, limited time given to the message of the cross, continuous search for fame, and retarded development and exploitation of the naive Christians. Thus, teaching about unity using 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 is imperativeenThesis
