Bishop David Abioye, former Vice President of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), has officially launched his new church ministry with the commencement of Sunday morning services. The highly anticipated maiden Sunday service will take place on May 4, 2025, at the Los Angeles Event Centre, located along Ahmadu Bello Way, Kado, Abuja.
This event marks a defining moment for Bishop Abioye, who faithfully served alongside Bishop David Oyedepo for several decades before transitioning to this new phase of his calling.
Since retiring from active duty at Living Faith Church in late 2024, Bishop Abioye has remained deeply committed to his ministerial work. He hosted evening fellowship gatherings that consistently drew large crowds eager to continue under his spiritual leadership. With the introduction of regular Sunday services, his ministry is now evolving from informal gatherings into a fully structured church.
Announcing the new phase on his official social media channels, Bishop Abioye emphasized that this transition is not born of personal ambition. “This is not an ambition or a personal project,” he stated. “It is a continuation of the assignment God has placed in my hands—to feed His sheep, to raise people for His kingdom, and to impact lives for eternity.”
Starting May 4, the congregation will meet every Sunday at 8:00 AM. The Los Angeles EventCentre offers a spacious venue capable of accommodating the growing number of worshippers. Bishop Abioye extended a warm invitation to individuals and families seeking a vibrant, Spirit-filled environment to experience God’s presence.
The announcement has stirred widespread excitement within the Christian community. Long-time followers, many of whom have benefited from his teachings and mentorship, expressed eagerness to be part of this new journey. Admirers praised Bishop Abioye’s unwavering humility, steadfastness, and focus—qualities that have consistently defined his ministry.
Although Bishop Abioye previously led evening meetings after stepping away from Living Faith Church, this maiden Sunday service marks the first time his ministry will operate as a full-fledged church with regular worship services. It represents a bold step forward in establishing a permanent spiritual home for his followers.
Several leaders across various denominations have also extended their goodwill, celebrating Bishop Abioye’s commitment to unity and continuity within the body of Christ. Many see his move not as a departure, but as a strengthening of the kingdom’s work.
The anticipation surrounding the inaugural service continues to build. Residents of Abuja and neighboring regions have shown remarkable interest, with many making plans to attend. Reports from local hotels around Kado indicate a surge in bookings, highlighting the widespread expectation and excitement.
Bishop Abioye’s legacy of excellence and leadership has inspired many over the years. His transition to founding a new church ministry is widely viewed as a continuation, not a conclusion, of the impactful work he began decades ago.
