Faith Tabernacle is the headquarter church of Winners' Chapel. It is in Canaanland, Ota, a suburb of Ogun state, Nigeria. Faith Tabernacle has a capacity of 50,400 worshippers and it is reputed to be the world's biggest church in terms of capacity. The Church building was constructed in under a year in 1998 and hosts the annual Shiloh religious festival which comes up every December in the same Canaanland. The Pastor in charge of Winners' Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, said that building the 50,000 capacity, biggest church in the world is from a revelation God gave to him many years before it was constructed.
Famous quotes containing the words faith and/or tabernacle:
“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-up—to accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that I—the conscious person talking to you—will meet you in the world beyond—you being yourself a conscious person—the same person now reading what I say.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm XIX (l. XIX, 4–5)
