WELCOME

Regardless of which service you attend, you will find people delighted that you have taken the opportunity to visit. Along with a warm welcome, you should receive a visitor packet that contains more information about the ministries here at Tabernacle. 

During our Sunday School time, you will find classes for every child's age group and adult Bible study classes. 

During our other services, you can expect the heartfelt singing of traditional and modern hymns, spiritual songs, and music from our choir and other smaller groups. You can also expect to find a challenging Bible message that will apply to your life. Services are generally over an hour in length. 

We are excited that you would consider attending with us and would love to have you visit no matter what you wear. That said, most of our members dress in formal church attire on Sundays and are typically more casual on Wednesdays. 

We have a nursery for children three and under for all our services. 

On Sundays, we offer Junior church for 4–7-year-olds and 3rd-6th grade during the latter half of the morning service. 

Our teens meet for Sunday School classes and on Wednesday evenings. In addition, the teens can participate in fellowships and regularly scheduled activities and volunteer in other parts of the ministry. For more information, see a detailed description of our youth group on the "Ministries" page under "Teenage Ministry." 

No. The financial needs of Tabernacle Baptist Church are met through the tithes and offerings of the members. We want our service to be a gift to you. Please don't feel an obligation to participate in the offering as a guest. 

If there is more you would like to know before visiting us, call us at 757.424.4673, email us, or ask someone when you visit. We hope that you will come and see why Tabernacle is your place to grow and serve. 

Our prayerful desire at the Tabernacle is to follow the simple yet scriptural procedure concerning church membership outlined in Acts 2:40-47: preaching the Gospel of Christ, salvation by faith, baptism, and church membership. Anyone desiring to join the church can present himself at the invitation time during any regular service in any of the following three ways: 

By Believer's Baptism. Any person professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior, giving evidence of regeneration, and examined by church leadership may, upon baptism by immersion, be received into Tabernacle Baptist Church membership. 

By Statement of Faith. A believer of worthy Christian character who has formerly been saved and scripturally baptized and is in accord with this church's view of faith and practice may be received upon Statement of Faith. 

By Transfer of Letter. Any believer who holds church membership at a church of like precious faith and comes to unite with Tabernacle Baptist Church may be received on the promise of a letter from his previous fundamental Baptist church.
