What We Believe

Jehovah Tabernacle Church is a Bible-based church. We strive to ground all of our beliefs and lifestyle in the explicit teachings of Scripture and sound biblical principles. Based on the Word of God, we believe the following:

---

About the Bible

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the ultimate authority for salvation and Christian living (2 Timothy 3:15–17).

---

About God

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh—fully God and fully man (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4–6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16).

About Sin and Salvation

All have sinned and are in need of salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23–25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8–9).

About the Gospel

The gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17) through repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) (1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Acts 2:4, 37–39; Romans 6:3–4).

About Christian Living

As followers of Christ, we are called to love God and others, to live a holy life both inwardly and outwardly, and to worship God with joy. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are active in the church today (Mark 12:28–31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8–10).

About the Future

Jesus Christ will return to take His church. At the end of time, there will be a final resurrection and judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life; the unrighteous will face eternal death (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 20:11–15).

How We Worship

As a Spirit-filled, Bible-based church, we worship God in spirit and in truth, following biblical examples of worship:

We raise our hands — “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands” (1 Timothy 2:8).

We clap our hands — “O clap your hands, all ye people” (Psalm 47:1).

We sing and play music — “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19); Psalm 150 encourages us to praise God with musical instruments.

We make a joyful noise — “Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands” (Psalm 66:1).

We pray aloud — The early church “lifted up their voice to God with one accord” (Acts 4:24).

We dance in the Spirit — “Let them praise His name with dancing” (Psalm 149:3).

We share testimonies, teaching, preaching, and spiritual gifts — “Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation” (1 Corinthians 14:26, NKJV).

Our Vision

We seek to evangelize and equip people with the Gospel of Jesus Chris in spirit and truth for the glory of God.
Jehovah Tabernacle Church exists to glorify God through authentic worship and the proclamation of His Word and seeks to provide a place for everyone to come to know and experience Jesus Christ for themselves in the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that God loves everyone and that everyone is. Therefore important, so we strive to create an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and comfortable to worship God with us. If you were to walk into one of our services and look around, you will see people from all walks of life…you would be able to identify “you”. Our congregation encompasses people from various ethnicity, nationalities, and social background. We are different in many ways, but “united” as a community with the commonality being that of the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. The ministries at Jehovah Tabernacle is reflected in the diversity of the people.
There is a place for everyone to be a part. More importantly, be involved to make a difference.
We firmly believe that people are most fulfilled when they have discovered God’s purpose for their lives and executing the same. We are committed to help people discover and uncover gifts God has given them to serve Him and bless others.
Our Blessing is in our “giving”.
