Abstract
Sexual infidelity (S.I) is one of the world’s intractable problems. It adversely affects the sanctity of family
which is the basic unit of human society. Decades of deliberate and strategic policies to mitigate S.I have
not yielded considerable concrete results. This is despite multidimensional approach from the church, state,
and non-governmental organizations. Arguably, in the endeavor to ensure believers are sanctioned against
unprecedented rates of S.I, Africa Inland Church –Kenya (A.I.C-K)has established Christian Education
programs designed to address developmental needs (formative, teenage, and adulthood) of all adherents.
Despite church’s effort to eradicate S.I among her married members, the problem still persists. The research
sought to examine factors influencing S.I. in A.I.C-K. This study is grounded on the premise that morality
marks an essential ingredient in society, especially in the family institution; hence, without family values,
society would be disrupted and eventually collapse. The article is justified by the need for the church to
regain her moral authority as the conscience of the society. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the
study. Simple random and purposive sampling methods were used to choose a sample size of the requisite
number of respondents. Key findings revealed that inadequate preparation before wedding, marital
dissatisfaction, and geographical migration were among highly rated causes of sexual infidelity in A.I.C-K.
