Barring any unexpected changes in plans, The Ark, which is the new sanctuary of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, will be dedicated on November 29, 2024.
The Ark, which is a 109,000 sitting capacity stadium-like sanctuary is located within Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, which serves as the global headquarters of the church.
Construction work on the new sanctuary commenced on March 25, 2021, and according to the church leaders, work has not stopped for a day in spite of several economic policies of the government that resulted in unstable foreign exchange rate.
Founder of the church, David Oyedepo, who announced the development at a church service, yesterday, added that the 2024 Shiloh, being the annual event of the church, will be the last in the Faith Tabernacle, as the congregation will be moving to the new Sanctuary, The Ark. He confirmed that everything needed for the completion of the project, including the roof, escalators, elevators, air conditioning systems, sounds systems, and several other things required have been delivered and on ground at the church global headquarters, Ota. He said: “This is the biggest church construction ever in the world as it is today. It is only God that can do this. No man on earth can take glory for this.
“The attention of the world has shifted to us. The good news is that all the procurements are fully paid. No dime is owed anybody involved in the construction work. It can only be God and we give Him all the glory…”
“This 2024 Shiloh will be the last at the Faith Tabernacle. We would all be sitting comfortably at The Ark for the 2025 Shiloh.”
