The Vision

Last year at our first-ever Feast of Tabernacles event, God gave Brother Scotty and our leadership team a vision to build an outdoor pavilion called the Tabernacle.  

Tabernacle Park Concept

A Tabernacle’s purpose throughout scripture was to provide a place for God’s covenant people to meet with God and draw closer to Him. The tabernacle on the outside was a simple tent, but inside a holy and pure place where heaven meets with earth. A place of festal community worship, prayer, and a place where the priesthood grew into their divine callings of ministry to the Lord and people.

As such the vision of our Tabernacle is a place where God is enthroned at the center of all we do.  A place we can gather to meet with God and draw closer to Him. A place to celebrate God’s faithfulness in a natural outdoor environment.  A place where families can gather to grow into their divine callings as a royal priesthood through ministry to God and each other. 

Scripture makes it clear that God’s end-time plan is to rebuild a tabernacle.  

Acts 15:16” After this, I will return and rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up.  So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord. (Amos 9:11)

David’s Tabernacle was a simple pavilion with nothing but the mercy seat in it. David arranged worship and prayer around it day and night and all of Jerusalem heard the sound of worship throughout its days.  As such we are believing that this simple pavilion will be in the spirit of the tabernacle of David.  That God is building something bigger than all of us through our simple obedience.

And that through it a sound is being released on our campus that will cause people in our community, and beyond to seek the Lord. 

Join our humble prayer: may your kingdom come and you will be done on this earth, in our church, in our families, in our community, and in the world.

Tabernacle Park Features

In scripture (Numbers 1 and 2) God’s divine plan was for the Tabernacle to be the center point of community life with all of the tribes of Israel camping around it in all directions.  As such our vision is greater than a pavilion for worship and includes a park-like environment surrounding it to host Presence-centered community life.  

Tabernacle and Fire pit

The Tabernacle Entrance will include  A String Light outdoor hallway to lead you to the Tabernacle and Courtyard. Here, the cross will stand at the center of the Tabernacle park, the doorway in which we enjoy all the promises of God. As well as the Flags representing the nations in which we have an outreach or ministry effort.

A giant circle-shaped walking path will lead you around the field and connect each of the community elements.  

Tabernacle Park Entrance

This walking path and all the features around the path will be symbolic of our Journey to the Promised Land, and represent God’s ultimate divine plan to Tabernacle with us forever:

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. 

Revelation 21:3 

Scripture reveals God’s ultimate plan will be a place of multigenerational togetherness including old men dreaming dreams and the sounds of children playing:

‘Old men and old women will again sit in the streets (public places) of Jerusalem…And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.’

Zech 8:5

As such the first community feature to the left is a splash pad/water feature.  It represents Jesus’s cry to us is anyone thirsty, let him come to me and drink. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37-38

Also, several covered pavilions for community gatherings will surround the water feature.

And to the right will be a playground specially designed to include children with special needs.

As you walk further along the path to the back of the field you will find a stone outdoor classroom/amphitheater.  

Here we symbolically remember we are living stones being assembled into a spiritual house (tabernacle) for God.

You, like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. I Peter 2:5

As you continue on the path you will reach the prayer garden. This prayer garden is a reminder that God is the Master gardener.  The Bible starts and ends with God’s people living in a garden with God. It is His ultimate end game. 

Jesus said I am the Vine and you are the Branches. Our garden will be a place of serenity, beauty, and inspiration for cultivating a lifestyle of Abiding and growing in Him.  

Other Features to bring the family together may include

  • fire pit(s), 

  • pickleball/foursquare courts

  • pavilions

  • food truck courtyard

  • intramural fields in the center field area

Jesus taught us to pray “on earth as it is in Heaven”.  Ultimately God is inviting us to pray this prayer, take on the heart of the Father, and dream with Him for a community life centered around His Presence. May it be Lord, in Jesus name!

Heaven on Earth

  • May your kingdom come, your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.  Matt 6:9

May Lord Jesus be enthroned and His Word and His purposes are accomplished as he empowers us.  

May He be the builder and architect of every single detail.  

  • Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Psalms 127:1

  • Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

May the Lord supply His people supernaturally with the resources and skills for all he has asked us to do.

  • "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do." Exodus 36:5 

  •  Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,  and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—  to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze,  to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Exodus 31:1

May a heart like David be in us, that He would find in our spiritual family, a united people after His own heart. 

  • I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do” (Acts 13:22).

  • Your (David’s)house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.' " 2 Sam 7:16

  • They brought the Ark of God and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it. ….So David left Asaph and his kinsmen there before the Ark of the Covenant of Adonai, to minister before the Ark continually, according to each day’s requirements, I Chron 16: 1, 37

  • "I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star . . . let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires to take the water of life without price. (Revelation 22:16f.)
