We believe everyone is created as a relational being. God is triune, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are created in His image not only as a three part being (body, soul, and spirit), but also as designed for relationships found with others. We all have been hurt and disappointed in relationships with others which is one of the unfortunate direct results of the fall of mankind from relationship with God. We can find healing in and through His Body, the church. We acknowledge the church is not a perfect institution; however that does not negate the reality it is still God's instrument for healing, growth, and development into all He has for us to walk in. Healing and discipleship are of paramount importance to us here at The Tabernacle. It is clearly reflected our motto: "One People, One Call, to heal the broken."

It is our endeavor to transform the region and those of this region, as seen in our mission statement: "We are called by God as a body of believers through our lifestyle of worship to reach every person in Western New York with the message of Jesus Christ, to build a family where one can find healing from brokenness and be discipled into life mission for the entire world."
