This article presents a study of the religious responses of Christians to the recent global pandemic, 2020–2024 in the City of Jos, Nigeria. It uses interview methods to sample the opinions of residents and indigenous people in Plateau State, living across communities in the city. The article focuses on three areas of inquiry to collate views of residents in the city about the religious explanations to the root cause of the pandemic, religious thought and interpretation of the vaccine, and possible responses to the pandemic in general. All arguments and discussions contained in this article came from these interviews
