Deeper Life Bible Church has finally completed its headquarters church valued at over N5 billion ($11 million) in Gbagada. The 30,000 capacity church project had gone on for about 13 years managed by Cappa and D’alberto.

The project which was initially scheduled to last 8 years had been billed for completion in 2012 but the church suffered some setbacks. It is now the 4th largest completed church auditorium in the world.

Nigeria presently has a plethora of mega church buildings under construction, all of which rank among the largest in the world. The MFM Temple with a capacity of 500,000, Faith Theatre which is 100,000, Salvation Ministries-90,000, The Great Tabernacle of The Apostolic Faith Mission-75,000 and The Lords Garden of Dunamis International Christian Centre-70,000 are all under construction and are billed to be the five largest auditoria in the world in that order when completed.

Deeper Life Church has built numerous secondary schools, a newly completed university recently approved and also constructing a 130,000 capacity conference centre (Deeper Life Conference Centre) at the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.


Arguably, Pastor Kumuyi’s N4 billion 30,000 seater ultra modern auditorium would be one of the grandest church in Africa when completed. ENCOMIUM Weekly’s check on Friday, February 28, 2014, revealed that the massive structure would be completed and commissioned this year. We gathered that the project which began seven years ago could not be completed as scheduled in 2012, due to architectural and technical adjustments to expand the work.

Built like a stadium, we confirmed that the auditorium sits on an underground structure. According to an inside source, the administration building is underground with a car park. The underground park, we reliably learnt, would take 160 cars.

It would seat more than 30,000 worshippers at a go. It is a mini-stadium and is costing the church over N4 billion, and every kobo of it is coming from the pockets of church members in Nigeria with generous contributions from Deeper Life churches abroad.

20140228_114715An Italian firm, Cappa & D’Alberto won the contract for the construction. The building will cover 6,200 square metres, with an additional 16,244 square metres for landscaping, walks and car parks. It will be a sight to behold when it is completed.

Checks revealed that the outer structure has been painted cream with a touch of light green. Interestingly, the auditorium covered a whole side of a street. Pastor Kumuyi spent over N500 million on expansion as its ultra modern worldwide headquarters is completed.

Information available to us revealed that the holiness preacher bought a whole street, Oduwaye Street, which lies directly opposite the cathedral in 2012.

The clergy actually held a meeting with all the landlords at Oduwaye Street and bidded for their property. After much bargaining, we learnt that each of the landlords submitted his offers. There were 10 houses on one side of the street while Deeper Life sits on the opposite side. Out of the 10 houses, Deeper Life owns two as its children church while six were residential and two were shopping complexes.

20140228_120103We scooped that the least among the landlords accepted an offer of N80 million due to the development of the area while some got about N100 million.

Consequently, the whole structures were demolished. However, checks by ENCOMIUM Weekly on Friday, February 28, 2014, revealed that the whole place has been sealed and the foundation laying of the ultra modern car park has been done.

In an exclusive chat with some of the builders on site, they confirmed to us that work would be completed this year. We also spoke to one of the architects who is also a member of the church, Architect Gozie and he confirmed the development. “Yes, work is progressing. We would give you the privilege of coming into the building and do photo shoot next week if you come with a covering letter from your office. We don’t usually like to boast about our achievement.

This church was completed early this year but it wasn't open because Muslims were the one hindering the church from opening....They want the church to construct a bridge before opening it

I weep for this nation. This money can help build research institutes across this nation but our mega churches cum mega pastors supported by their mega mumu followers choose to build empty houses that will cost more money to develop. We marvel at the ground breaking feats of the Chinese and wish to be like them but forget one thing about them.


They invest in their intellects
