Our Leaders

Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.

- Hebrews 13:7 (CSB)

We are incredibly grateful for the leaders God has given us at Tabernacle. We believe as you get to know these godly men and women, they will help strengthen your faith, grow you as a Christian, and show you a glimpse of how much Jesus values you.
