Language is human, Humans makes use of language so that they could communicate with one another in speech communities, which are made up of speakers of a certain language regardless of their social or cultural background. This is the basis for the church's eligibility as a speech community. Thus, this work is an attempt to conduct a sociolinguistic analysis of language use among orthodox and pentecostal pastors to convey their religion and religious ideas. The study examined the expressions used in worship by these various Christian pastors and the impact that these expressions had on the participants. The data collected was analyzed using the descriptive method of data analysis.
