520 |a Although progress has been made in examining noise pollution in Nigeria, literature has insufficiently focused on the contribution of Pentecostal churches to noise pollution in Nigeria. The aim of this study was to explore: 1) how Pentecostal churches contribute to noise pollution in Nigeria; 2) the adverse effects of this noise pollution on children; and adults and 3) impacts on the lived environment. Data was gathered from relevant academic literature. Oral interviews were conducted as part of a qualitative study using the narrative method. Key informant interviews were used to collect the data from twelve (N=12) purposively selected informants, which was analysed using content analysis. Churches have been at the forefront of every transformation and social change, but that seems to be untrue when it comes to tackling noise pollution. Nigeria, being a highly religious society, has so many Pentecostal churches on almost all the streets. The following variables emerged from the research:indoor services and outdoor services; Pentecostal churches are often located in illegal areas; revival programs and night vigils; irregular church programs; effects of noise pollution on children; and noise pollution on adults. Noise pollution by Pentecostal churches has had enormous negative impacts on Nigerians. Recommendations are discussed.
