About
Winners Chapel International Nairobi is a church, a branch of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners' Chapel International). We share the Liberation Mandate — liberating people through the Word of faith — while gathering as a local family in Kenya.
Who we are
Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners' Chapel International, is a Word-of-Faith commission with congregations across Nigeria and thousands more across six continents. Faith Tabernacle in Canaanland, Ota, Nigeria, is the international headquarters and is widely known as one of the largest single church congregations in the world. Our church in Nairobi shares that same Liberation Mandate and Word-of-Faith emphasis while serving families in Kenya.
This website is the public front door for the church in Nairobi. The pastoral team serves the church in person. Names and portraits of local leaders will be published by the office when they are ready — we do not invent a leadership list here.
A Sunday with us is straightforward: we sing, we pray, we hear the Bible taught with faith, and we stay long enough to know one another. If you are exploring faith, you are not late and you are not in the way.

Received May 2, 1981
The commission was received in an 18-hour vision. The Lord showed an array of oppressed and broken people crying for rescue, and answered with a clear assignment to liberate mankind through the Word of faith.
To liberate people in every facet of life, restore broken destinies, and bring healing to the sick and brokenhearted — through the preaching and practice of the Word of faith.
“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.”

Twelve pillars
Across Winners' Chapel, the Word of Faith entrusted to this commission is taught under twelve pillars — shared worldwide, including here in Nairobi.
01
Victory that overcomes the world is our faith (1 John 5:4). We live by believing God's Word.
02
Christ upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). Scripture is our foundation.
03
Life in the Spirit is real. We expect God to confirm His Word with power.
04
Praise invites God's intervention. We worship with joy and thanksgiving.
05
The Spirit empowers believers, breaks yokes, and equips the church for witness.
06
God desires His people to prosper in soul, health, and fruitful living (3 John 2).
07
Where there is no vision, people perish (Proverbs 29:18). We pursue God-given purpose.
08
We ask according to His will with confidence that He hears us (1 John 5:14).
A short visitor summary for the church in Nairobi. It sits alongside the commission's Liberation Mandate and twelve pillars — and is not a substitute for the church's own teaching.
The Bible is God's word and our final authority for what we believe and how we live.
There is one God, who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus, fully God and fully human, died for our sins and rose again. He is Lord.
Salvation is a gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus — not earned by effort.
We preach the Word of faith for liberation — freedom from oppression, restored destinies, and a life that works by believing God.
The Holy Spirit lives in every believer, forming character and giving power to serve.
God still heals, delivers, and confirms His Word. We pray with expectation.
The church is a family across the nations. Locally in Nairobi we worship, learn, and care for people together.
Global family
Headquarters: Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Nigeria. From Canaanland the Word reaches congregations and viewers across Africa, Europe, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. Shiloh — the annual convocation of Winners — connects the family worldwide. Nairobi stands in that same stream of faith.
Educational and training arms of the commission include Covenant University, Landmark University, and the Word of Faith Bible Institute (WOFBI). Publishing continues through Dominion Publishing House.
