Pastor Newhouse's desire
for Tabernacle is that our church will be a place with a
loving and caring environment; in which sinners can come to
know Jesus Christ as their Savior and Christians can grow to
maturity in Christ Jesus. He further hopes that each
believer will develop their spiritual gift(s) and serve the
Lord in such a way that we as a church will fulfill the
threefold purpose of the local church:
- The evangelism of sinners
- The edifying of saints, and most
importantly
- The exalting of the Savior, the
Lord Jesus Christ
We truly want to
fulfill our motto of:
"Occupying Till JESUS
Comes!"
