Membership
Membership in a local body is extremely important to your growing relationship with God and to finding His purpose for your life. It provides both security for you and the opportunity to grow and minister to others.
Membership classes are offered on a regular basis. Contact the Pastoral Care Department at 716.712.1713 for more info.
Weddings
Our pastors welcome the opportunity to officiate at the weddings of our church family as well as the extended community.
Due to the large number of applicants, and in order to provide for proper scheduling of the Sanctuary, we request that the first personal contact with the church be a minimum of at least six months prior to the desired date of the wedding. The Tabernacle also provides a Wedding Coordinator who is available to discuss your plans, answer questions, and assist at your rehearsal and wedding service.
The couple should contact the Pastoral Care Department at 716.712.1713 for additional information.
We have some downloadable documents (.PDF) to assist you with your planning process:
Baby Dedications
Dedicating your child is an act of recognizing that your child belongs to God but is left into your care. It is affirming before God that you will raise your child in the Christian faith.
If you are interested in dedicating an infant, please Contact Us in the Pastoral Care Department at 716.712.1713.
Food Pantry
The Herb Frey Memorial Food Panty serves families in need of assistance with food. We accommodate families in the south towns. Please call the food pantry during our hours of operation which are; Wednesday 12:00 ~ 7:00p.m. and Thursday 12:00 ~ 4:00p.m. at 716.712.1731. Or you can contact Pastoral Care at 716.712.1713.
Addiction Help
Celebrating Freedom is a biblical and balanced program that can help you overcome your hurts, habits and hang-ups. We help people achieve sobriety and abstinence by connecting them with faith believing mentors. Approximately 85% of the people who come into our program find the support they need to maintain their sobriety. We believe it is the love and concern and prayer for those addicted that attributes to the great success of our classes. Celebrating Freedom meets the first and third Thursday of each month. For more information contact Pastor Dee Dee Bernardoni at operationdignity@msn.com
