We are a Southern Baptist Church. We look to the Baptist Faith and Message as a statement of our faith.
Beginning in 1899, with just 86 members, Tabernacle has always stood for Biblical teaching and God’s glory through Jesus Christ. God’s church at Tabernacle began in a downtown feed store in Ennis TX. Tabernacle soon moved to its own downtown building. We are now located on a 20-acre campus, not too far from the downtown area. Tabernacle has always been a symbol of love, mercy, and a catalyst of change. Now, while standing on the shoulders of many great men and women of the past, Tabernacle has a clear vision to be empowered to engage; a vision that has been felt in the past and now guides us into the future.
