====United Kingdom====
In 2014, the church applied to open a Kingdom Heritage Model School in [[Kent]]. Concerns were raised by the National Secular Society about the church linking disobedience to witchcraft. The application was later withdrawn.<ref>{{Cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-29937091| title='Witchcraft' church in school bid| work=BBC News| date=2014-11-06| access-date=2019-02-01| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202054745/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-29937091| archive-date=2019-02-02| url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2015/08/church-of-witch-slapping-pastor-withdraws-application-to-open-uk-school| title=Church of 'witch-slapping' pastor withdraws application to open UK school| date=2015-08-25| access-date=2019-02-01| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202095200/https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2015/08/church-of-witch-slapping-pastor-withdraws-application-to-open-uk-school| archive-date=2019-02-02| url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Shiloh ===
Every year in December, the church hosts a global event called Shiloh. The church says the mandate for this event is drawn from the Bible books of Joshua 18:1 and 1Samuel 1:3.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shiloh 2020: More Prophetic Declarations Released ... |url=https://allnews.ng/news/shiloh-2020-more-prophetic-declarations-releases-by-bishop-oyedepo |access-date=2022-06-21 |website=allnews.ng |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=BP-Pub-3 |date=2019-12-01 |title=History Of "Shiloh" - Winers Chapel, Living Faith Church |url=https://believersportal.com/history-of-shiloh-winers-chapel-living-faith-church/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Believers Portal |language=en-US}}</ref> The event is held mostly in the first week of December.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thenationonlineng.net/winners-shiloh-2019-begins-tuesday/|title=Winners' Shiloh 2019 begins Tuesday|date=2019-11-30|website=The Nation Latest Nigeria News, Nigerian Newspapers|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.ng/shiloh-2019-oyedepo-charges-nigerians-to-embrace-righteousness/|title=Shiloh 2019: Oyedepo Charges Nigerians To Embrace Righteousness|last=|first=|date=November 13, 2019|website=Independent|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=February 10, 2019}}</ref>

The church sees the purpose of the event as being to usher the visitation of God to his people. It also marks the end of the Church's calendar year.<ref>{{Cite web |last=BP-Pub-3 |date=2019-12-01 |title=History Of "Shiloh" - Winers Chapel, Living Faith Church |url=https://believersportal.com/history-of-shiloh-winers-chapel-living-faith-church/ |access-date=2022-06-21 |website=Believers Portal |language=en-US}}</ref>
