Who We Are
LFC First Church is the first church ever of the Living Faith Church Worldwide — also known as Winners' Chapel — a Spirit-filled, Word-based ministry born out of a divine mandate to liberate the world from every oppression of the devil through the preaching of the Word of Faith.
On May 2, 1981, Bishop David Oyedepo received a life-changing 18-hour vision from God in Ilesa, Osun State, Nigeria. In that encounter, God commissioned him with the words:
"Now the hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil, through the preaching of the Word of Faith; and I am sending you to undertake this task."
What began as a small fellowship of four members in Kaduna in 1983 has grown into one of the largest Christian congregations on earth — with over 6 million members across 147 nations, anchored by the 50,000-seat Faith Tabernacle at Canaanland, Ota, Nigeria.
LFC First Church stands as a local expression of this global mandate — a community where the Word of Faith is preached, lives are restored, and destinies are fulfilled.
Our Vision

Habakkuk 2:14Our Mission

He leads a vibrant, Spirit-filled congregation committed to worship, discipleship, prayer, and aggressive soul-winning across Ilorin and the entire Kwara State region.
"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
