Tabernacle Church

Tabernacle Church is an Open and Affirming Congregation with a focus on building relationships
with God through worship, mission, healing ministries, education and fellowship. We welcome people from all denominations and faith traditions; and we affirm who you are  and want to join you on your  journey of becoming.

 Worship:
 At the heart of our Christian life together are the shared rituals and sacraments
of worship. On Sunday mornings at 10:00 am, we take this time to be with God in
community and rejoice in the presence of Jesus Christ. With extraordinary
musical talents, our choir and congregation lift voices and instruments as gifts
to God. Every Sunday, children receive a message before leaving for Sunday
School. And our prayer and preaching life together is a genuine sharing of faith
and vision.


Mission: 
This year marks the 200th Anniversary of the Commissioning of Global Missionaries in
1812. Our Mission Group actively builds relationships in this community that
help relieve poverty, abuse and homelessness. Our quarterly Mission-Concerts are
open to the public and give us a chance to teach and raise funds for local
social justice organizations. 

Special Mission Events:
Healing:
When Jesus walked into cities and villages with his disciples, he saw human
beings who cried out for healing. WIth a mission to proclaim the good news of
the kingdom of God and heal every dis-ease and sickness among the people, he
persistently brought the disenfranchised into the circle of God’s Love.
Tabernacle is committed to being a place where people know they belong and as
part of the inner circle of our spiritual life, we all become healed and healers.
 
Education:
As a teacher and rabbi, Jesus valued learning. As disciples of Christ, we too value
learning. Children’s education, Adult Bible Studies and spirituality retreats
are ways we further God’s wisdom in our world. Each month, children participate
in a Communion in the Round service with the guidance from Christ’s plea: “Let
the children come to me for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

 Fellowship:
 Fun  is sometimes the best antidote to life’s complications. And we like to have fun.
Dinners out at local restaurants; parties at holiday times; and fund raising pot
luck dinners with Silent Auctions are some of the ways we fellowship together.
Members can host a home party and Reverend Laura Biddle will come and meet you,
your family, and friends.

 
Please join us in the rich and challenging life of our Christian Faith at Tabernacle  Church!
