What to Expect

What are services like?
We would love to have you join us on Sunday mornings as we gather to sing, pray, and study the Scriptures together! When you come, please take advantage of the parking lot on the east side of the building off Holmes Street and enter our building through the east side. A friendly person will greet you at the door who can answer questions you might have. As you enter our church auditorium, ushers will present you with a bulletin which provides details of our church service along with other helpful information about current happenings at Tabernacle. You are invited to participate as we sing praises to God, pray, and listen to the preaching of God’s Word. During the service we have childcare available for children ages birth through fourth grade. Our nursery is open to infants and toddlers. Children’s Church is available for older toddlers and children. Our Children’s Church ministry is designed to provide kids with an opportunity to worship God and to hear God’s Word taught in an engaging way while their parents are in the main Sunday morning worship service. Children are encouraged to worship God through singing, fun activities, and an age-appropriate, God-centered Bible lesson
