Career
Dunamis International Gospel Centre was established on November 10, 1996. The first Sunday service was held at Abuja Centre for Arts and Culture Area 10. Church Services were held for two weeks before the church moved to Abuja Sheraton Hotel & Towers, where services took place for six months. The church moved to its present site (Area 1, Garki Abuja) in June 1997. The church runs six services every Sunday and two every Wednesday.
On September 14, 2014, the church broke ground for the construction of the Lord’s Garden, the Church’s International headquarters in Abuja. Bishop David Oyedepo arrived for the foundation laying of the project. The International Conference Centre and Glory Dome in the Lord's Garden has a seventy-five thousand seating capacity.The event was a gathering of several branch churches across the FCT, Abuja and environs who supposedly came to tap into the anointing that lays foundations for such an ultra-modern project.

The church started its own satellite television station in Nigeria with the establishment of the Dunamis TV/Radio.
