Canaanland was procured in 1998 and was initially. It is in Ota, Ogun, Nigeria. The church's international headquarters, Faith Tabernacle, was built in Cannanland between 1998 and 1999, taking twelve months to complete.[5] The foundation laying took place on August 29, 1998.

In 1999, the Faith Tabernacle was inaugurated with 50,400 seats.[6]

On Dec 11 2013, Oyedepo's first son, David Oyedepo Jnr, ministered for the first time at the church's annual Shiloh gathering.

In December 2015, Oyedepo Jnr became the resident pastor of the Faith Tabernacle. Oyedepo announced the commencement of the construction of a 100,000 capacity sanctuary called "The Ark" (It was formerly called Faith Theatre).[7] The Ark will specifically take 106,000 seats and will include a 20 Floor Mission Tower (International Headquarters Facility). It is to be built on the site of the old Faith Academy adjoining Faith Tabernacle which will now become its overflow facility.[8] The groundbreaking of the project took place on Thursday 25 March 2021.[8]

The publishing house that grew out of Winner's Chapel was founded on 5 December 1992.[9] Dominion Publishing House has published over 120 books, most of which have been written by Oyedepo.

The Church is founded upon twelve core emphases called the 12-Pillars.[10] The theological position of the church is Pentecostal.[11]

The denomination has a charismatic confession of faith.[12][13]

Education

Several educational institutions are linked to the chapel, including Covenant University,[14] Landmark University,[15] Faith Academy[16] and over 150 Kingdom Heritage Model Schools.[17][18] In addition, there is a ministry training college called The Word of Faith Bible Institute.[19]

United Kingdom

In 2014, the church applied to open a Kingdom Heritage Model School in Kent. Concerns were raised by the National Secular Society about the church linking disobedience to witchcraft. The application was later withdrawn.[20][21]

Every year in December, the church hosts a global event called Shiloh. The church says the mandate for this event is drawn from the Bible books of Joshua 18:1 and 1Samuel 1:3.[22][23] The event is held mostly in the first week of December.[24][25]

The church sees the purpose of the event as being to usher the visitation of God to his people. It also marks the end of the Church's calendar year.[26]

As of 2012, there were millions in attendance. The Presiding Bishop also said up to 160 nations hooked up to Shiloh 2015, with nationals from 55 nations present at the Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.[27]
