About Evening Light Tabernacle
Evening Light Tabernacle has faithfully served the Minden area since 1972. For more than fifty years, our purpose has remained the same—to preach Jesus Christ, teach the Bible, and help people come to know Him as their personal Savior.
While we are not affiliated with any denomination, we are thankful for the truths that God has restored and emphasized throughout the history of His Church.
Like the Baptists, we baptize believers by immersion.
With Martin Luther, we proclaim that we are justified by faith in Jesus Christ.
With John Wesley, we believe in the necessity of a sanctified and holy life.
With the believers of the Azusa Street Revival, we believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and in all the gifts of the Spirit taught in the New Testament.
Above all, we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for our sins, rose again the third day, is alive forevermore, and will soon return for His Church. He is the center of everything we preach, teach, and believe.
The Gospel has never been confined to our local community. Through the years, God has enabled our church to support missionary work and help establish churches in many nations. I have personally preached the Gospel in Africa, China, Russia, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Fiji, New Zealand, and throughout the United States. Other ministers from our church have likewise carried the Gospel to Africa, the Philippines, China, Japan, and into the Amazon region of South America. Our burden has always been to make Jesus Christ known wherever God opens a door.
Here at home, we have been privileged to host youth camps for approximately forty years, support missions, strengthen families, and serve our community. Our congregation includes people from many occupations and backgrounds, united by one common faith in Jesus Christ. We welcome people of every race, nationality, and walk of life because we believe the Gospel is God’s invitation to every person.
For more than five decades, our desire has never been to build a name for ourselves, but to lift up the name of Jesus Christ. If you have never visited Evening Light Tabernacle, we would be honored to welcome you. Come worship with us, meet our people, and hear the Gospel for yourself.
When Nathanael questioned whether anything good could come out of Nazareth, Philip simply replied, “Come and see.” (John 1:46)
That is our invitation to you as well.
May the Lord richly bless you.
