Abstract: This study is focused on the factors leading the PAG Church perform poorly in the development of education as compared to other Church denominations in the County. The research objectives were: to find out how the church has involved itself in socio-economic activities, factors for its minimal perfomance in the development of education and, how its teachings and beliefs have impacted on education development. The study was justified by the fact that the (PAG) church has been in the county long enough a period spanning almost a century just like the other denominations such as SDA, Roman Catholic and Lutheran, but there has not been any study done to find out the factors to that effect. The researcher used the theory of liberation/ salvation as expounded by Mugambi (1990) as a guide to this study. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used for data analysis. The target population of 115 respondents was selected to participate in this study. The result showed that PAG has performed minimally on development of education as well as socio economic activities in the Nyamira County.
