This article seeks to revive a debate on the role of the church in development. The main focus touches on the strategic methods that the church and society have employed in the realization of the fullness of life for their respective communities. Our specific area of research is Nyanza region of the western Kenya. There are major players in the development programs, the NGOs, the church, the government and the volunteers. The article seeks to bring into focus the core ministry of the church in a social context and to elaborate the extent at which volunteerism has been embraced at every level of development. The article also seeks to publicize some case studies where volunteerism had been a key factor. This article is also about appreciating the role of volunteers and to go deeper to examine the impact they make in the philosophy of development. Special attention is also given to Anglican Development Services ( ADS Nyanza) which is the development wing of the Anglican Church of Kenya. The core business of the ADS is simply to translate the mission of the church in a context that is characterized with unending needs for social services. There is a lot that we learn from the challenges ADS has been facing in its endeavor which include but not limited to sound resource base, cultural attitude of the target community, and different competing interests. The article recommends certain measures that would help the church to remain interdependent and selfsustaining.
