Bishop David Oyedepo's Living Faith Church Temporarily Puts N50 Billion Faith Theatre Project On Hold

The Faith theatre 100,000 Stadium-like Auditorium which was designed by Students/Graduates of Covenant University has now been temporarily put on hold as the Church waits for clear Divine Instructions on the matter. According to Bishop Oyedepo, God hasn't given a "go ahead" for the Construction to begin.

About 1,000 Hectares of Land had been initially reserved for the project at Canaancity and the Project reportedly ought to have run for Three years maximum and commissioned in 2019.



Right now, according to Leke Beecroft, the Church would now focus on expanding Faith Tabernacle(50,000) to accommodate hundreds of thousands of Worshippers. According to 2015 statistics Canaanland currently hosts about 400,000 people per Sunday over several Services-hence it is imperative to either build a new structure or expand the Faith Tabernacle.

50,000-seater auditorium, Faith Tabernacle, currently the largest auditorium in the world

The Presiding Bishop said up to 160 nations hooked up to Shiloh 2017, with nationals from 58 nations present at the Canaan Land, Ota Ogun State. Once Faith Theatre is completed, all the Countries at Shiloh will have their own tents and buildings while the 36 states of Nigeria including Abuja will have their camping area in the Shiloh Camp. 500 acres (present size of Faith Tabernacle, Faith Academy, Covenant University, Church Secretariat etc) will be used for the camping area.


It could be recalled that Winners Chapel was the first 50,000-seat capacity auditorium worldwide, known as the “Faith Tabernacle”, which is reputed to be the largest church auditorium in the world, the feat made the Guinness Book of Records. Faith Tabernacle's overflow facilities can take up to 300,000 people. However, 50,000 plastic chairs were added a day before Shiloh but that did not stop thousands from having to stand on Saturday due to the non-availability of chairs.
The ultra-modern100,000-seat capacity auditorium which was designed by staff and students of Covenant University will also be first of its kind in the whole world. Bishop Oyedepo called the new project which will be built in form of an Ark "A Generational Monument to the glory of Jesus". As reported earlier by Amazing stories, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries is presently building a 500,000 Capacity Deliverance Auditorium which is the largest church project in the world. The project which commenced in 2011 was billed to last 5 years. Church Gist however observed that the N20 Billion ($100m) project may take a while longer as the church is presently trying to complete facilities under construction at her Mountain Top University, Mowe, Ogun State, Nigeria.
