Critics argue that churches have historically played a vital role in building and supporting communities, offering not only spiritual guidance but also practical resources such as food drives, shelters, and family services. They believe that expanding the influence of churches in community development would help address social issues more effectively by combining moral principles with action. They argue that churches, grounded in Biblical teachings, can lead the charge in creating vibrant, moral, and thriving communities.

Supporters of this view also point to the moral authority that churches can bring to discussions about housing, poverty, and education. They believe that many current development efforts are devoid of a moral framework and could benefit from the values that churches instill in their members. Churches, they argue, are community hubs that can rally people around common goals, providing a foundation for long-term, sustainable development that strengthens families and social bonds.

Another point of contention is the perception that government-led development projects often fall short in addressing the spiritual and emotional needs of communities. Critics argue that churches, by contrast, can address not only material needs but also the moral and spiritual dimensions of development, creating more well-rounded and supportive environments. They believe that allowing churches to play a larger role would lead to more balanced and impactful community growth.
