Oyedepo's son leaves Living Faith Church to start his own ministry.

Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, the second son of the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has resigned from his position as national youth pastor of the Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF), the youth arm of the church. 

This was disclosed by Church Gist, a platform owned by Pastor Leke Beecroft, one of the pastoral assistants at the church’s headquarters in Ota. 

Just last month, September 2023, Isaac was announced as the national youth pastor of YAF, taking over from Pastor David Nwabueze who was transferred to Nasarawa State. 

Isaac is said to be planning to begin a new ministry independent of the Living Faith Church. 

He was ordained as a Living Faith Church pastor by American preacher Kenneth Copeland in May 2007. 

In a recent interview, he said his purpose in life was “to reclaim a generation and to ensure that this generation sees the fire God’s revival in our generation.” 

Isaac pastored the Winners Chapel International in South Africa; Maryland, United States; and Lokogoma, Abuja before he was redeployed to the headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.
