All over the world, a human being cannot live
without beliefs. Since December 2019, the Covid-19
pandemic prevented people from practicing their religion
in synagogues to prevent its spread. People used ICT to
keep their relationships with their God. This study
assessed the use of ICT in RPAG churches during Covid19 pandemic in the city of Kigali. Both primary and
secondary data were used. Primary data were gathered
through a questionnaire. Purposive sampling was used to
collect data. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and
inferential statistics like chi square and correlation.
Financial problems, insufficient ICT infrastructure, lack
of ICT skills towards Church members, poor conception
of ICT policy and ineffective use of ICT in Church
administration were identified as main challenges RPAG
churches are facing. As solutions, 97% suggest providing
support to disadvantaged believers. 98.9% want church
leaders to invest in ICT infrastructures. 98% believe that
training church members in the use of certain ICT
programs should be a good solution. 98.9% of
respondents think that setting up ICT policy within the
church might be a helpful solution. The researcher
recommends the government of Rwanda to encourage
faith-based organizations to put much effort in the use of
ICT but also churches must invest in ICT and train their
followers in the use of technologies.
