Tabernacle of Praise Church International: No. 3 Fastest-Growing Church, 2016

Tabernacle of Praise Church‘s pastor, T.J. McBride, is man with a vision: to reach lost souls for Jesus Christ that all men may be saved by any means necessary. We’re growing because our vision highlights three focal areas: the worship experience, a time for one to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit; the youth, modeling a Christ-centered fulfilled experience for all ages; and outreach.

Being community-minded allows Tabernacle of Praise to minister to “the least of these” from many facets. With the meal-share programs, hand-cooked and hand-delivered meals are given to our local homeless population and displaced families. The social justice and life skills programs provide education and awareness to the community at large, focusing on issues that are pivotal to the success of the community as well as our nation. And community connections facilitates partnership with local nonprofit organizations.
