Bishop Abioye Names, Inaugurates Church Months After Retiring From Winners Chapel

Former Vice President of Winners Chapel church, Bishop David Abioye, has announced the name of the new church he started after retiring from Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel founded by Bishop David Oyrdepo.

This comes more than six months after the cleric retired.

The preacher, who recently switched his Sunday services from evenings to mornings, made the announcement during his inaugural Sunday service, which was held on May 4.

His unveiling of his new church ends several months of speculations about his next direction.

Bishop Abioye said the new church will be called Living World Conquerors Global Assembly.

During the Sunday service, which was transmitted live on Facebook, Bishop Abioye gave a back story to how God birthed the idea of his new ministry, clarifying that he is not starting a new church because of people’s demands for one.

He noted that his assembly is an offshoot of the church of God.

His statement in part reads: “…May I make it clear that the inauguration of this assembly is not in response to people’s demands to start a church, but by emergence of God’s eternal purpose ordained from the foundation of the world, which is just coming to light at his own time.

“This is simply an offshoot of the church of Jesus universal, which keeps expanding and spreading across the globe in furtherance of the great commission as commanded in Matthew 28:18-20 and several other gospels…

“On this final note and to the glory of God, this assembly with the name Living World Conquerors Global Assembly is hereby inaugurated this day, Sunday, 4th May, 2025, in the name of God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit, for the spiritual development, edification and triumph of the saints globally. And let someone join me to say a loud amen.

“May I therefore welcome you specially to Conquerors Global Assembly, and everyone who witnesses this today will not cease to conquer.”

The congregation erupted in joy and excitement the moment Bishop Abioye announced the name of his new church.

Abioye’s retirement follows a review of the church’s administrative policy, The Mandate. The retirement age for church leaders has been pegged at 55.

The Mandate stipulates that future church leaders will be restricted to one or two terms of seven years, pending approval by the Board of Trustees (BoT).

Following Bishop Abioye’s retirement, a valedictory service was held for him at the Winners Chapel, Abuja.
