Living Faith Church Announces Shiloh 2025 With Theme “Breaking New Grounds”
Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, has formally announced the 2025 edition of its annual global spiritual convocation, Shiloh. The highly anticipated program, themed “Breaking New Grounds,” is scheduled to take place from December 9 to December 14, 2025, drawing participants from across Nigeria and around the world, both physically and through online platforms.
The announcement was accompanied by a scriptural reference from Psalm 150:6, which calls on all living beings to praise God. Organizers describe Shiloh 2025 as a prophetic gathering focused on ushering worshippers into new spiritual dimensions, renewed purpose, and fresh victories across different areas of life. According to the official message, participants are encouraged to “step into the future God has prepared,” with expectations of personal transformation, restored hope, and deeper encounters with God.
Shiloh, which has become one of the largest annual Christian gatherings in Africa, typically holds at the church’s international headquarters in Ota, Ogun State. Over the years, the event has attracted millions of worshippers both on-site and via global live-streaming platforms. For 2025, organizers have confirmed that services will be broadcast live through platforms such as YouTube, Domimedia, and the official Shiloh website, allowing global participation regardless of location.

The theme “Breaking New Grounds” suggests a strong emphasis on spiritual growth, expansion, and overcoming limitations. Church leaders and members interpret the theme as a call to move beyond past boundaries into new levels of faith, productivity, and personal advancement. As with previous editions, the program is expected to feature daily worship sessions, sermons, prayers, testimonies, and prophetic ministrations.
However, as with many large religious gatherings in Nigeria, the announcement has sparked a wide range of reactions among members of the public. While many believers expressed excitement and anticipation, others raised concerns about security, national challenges, and the broader socio-economic situation in the country. Some commentators questioned the appropriateness of large gatherings during a period marked by insecurity, including incidents of kidnapping and banditry in some northern and central states.
Supporters of the program maintain that faith gatherings like Shiloh offer spiritual encouragement and hope in difficult times. Some worshippers shared testimonies from previous editions, claiming personal breakthroughs, healing, and life-changing experiences during past Shiloh conventions. A number of participants specifically referenced earlier editions, including Shiloh 2019, as pivotal moments in their personal journeys.
On the other hand, critics argued that religious events alone cannot address the country’s deep-rooted economic hardship and security challenges. Some questioned what they see as the commercialization of faith, while others raised concerns about accountability, safety, and the emotional vulnerability of worshippers seeking solutions to complex life problems.
There were also theological debates around the phrase “God of Shiloh,” used by some supporters in their comments. While some believers used the phrase to emphasize the idea of divine intervention associated with the event, others cautioned against what they described as misrepresentation of biblical history, noting that Shiloh, as a location in the Bible, later became a symbol of judgment due to disobedience.
Despite the mixed reactions, organizers remain focused on preparations for the six-day event, encouraging believers to participate either in person or through the available online platforms. The church’s media team has emphasized that the gathering is open to all who seek spiritual renewal and divine direction.
As December 2025 approaches, attention is expected to increase around Shiloh, both for its spiritual significance to millions of Christians and for the broader national conversations it often triggers around faith, security, and social responsibility. Whether viewed as a powerful spiritual convocation or a subject of public debate, Shiloh 2025 is once again set to be a major event on Nigeria’s religious calendar.
