Bishop David Oyedepo Reveals Intimate Secrets
OpenLife Nigeria reports that Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel is building the biggest church sanctuary facility on earth.
The worship centre called The Ark, which is still under construction, is in Otta, Ogun State, Nigeria.
Bishop Oyedepo announced that The Ark church will be dedicated on November 29, 2025.
According to him, the first event to be held in the new auditorium will be Shiloh 2025, from December 9th to 14th, 2025.
Oyedepo also announced that the massive new worship center at Canaanland, will be powered by 32 transformers to meet its huge electricity demand.
The facility is expected to be fully operational after its dedication in November 2025.
Speaking during the second service on Sunday, at Faith Tabernacle, the Bishop explained that the power requirement stems from features such as 129 elevators, escalators, and travelators designed to move worshippers—including the elderly and physically challenged—across the four-level, 109,000-seat main auditorium, the 5,000-capacity youth church, and a 20,000-seat children’s church.
The Ark also houses 12 twin-tower mission headquarters buildings, where staff movement will largely depend on lifts rather than staircases.
Although Canaanland’s existing 15MW power plant, installed in 2016, has kept the estate running without a single blackout since 1999, it won’t be sufficient for The Ark.
A new 80MW power plant, already under construction, will power The Ark and extend supply to Covenant University, Canaan City, and potentially parts of Ota.
Additionally, The Ark will tap into 1MW of solar energy, while its roof will harvest rainwater for flushing over 1,200 restrooms using gravity-based systems.
Bishop Oyedepo emphasized that Canaanland has never experienced a full blackout in over two decades, defying the nationwide power crisis.
