Pastor

Our purpose is to help in serving family,

friends, and guests when we are gathered

together to feed our physical beings.

We aim to help in the serving of food,

smiles and spiritual helping hands, as we

provide assistance to each ministry of the

church with their individual functions that

include the serving of food.

Our assistance extends to the community,

as well as to the needs of our membership

for homegoing services.

We appreciate all who are willing to serve

in this capacity, and we encourage

anyone—male or female—interested in

placing the needs of others first, to become

a part of this ministry.

If any man serve me, let him follow me;

and where I am, there shall also my

servant be; if any man serve me, him

will my Father honour. John 12:26

Statement of Purpose The Hospitality Ministry

NEW TABERNACLE’S

VISION STATEMENT

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions, And also upon

the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” Joel 2:28-29

It is by the power of The Holy Spirit that the New Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church will engage its disciples and ministries in a continuous exercise of faith, obedience and love. Furthermore, we are bound by the Spirit of the Lord to enter into a relationship of intimacy and truth with God through Jesus Christ. As we illustrate our faith, obedience and love, we will maintain our lives using the gifts bestowed upon each of us by God. In doing so, we offer ourselves as living sacrifices for the purpose of worshiping God. Therefore, as we are led and directed by The Holy Spirit, we will always be made available to serve Him.

NEW TABERNACLE’S

MISSION STATEMENT

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

and development of its church discipleship To be joined together by the spirit of God and

? And he lift up his eyes and looked, and lo three men stood by him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground. And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant; Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. And I will fethch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on. Genesis 18:2-5(a)

? And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Luke 10:7

? For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. Philemon 1:7

I beseech you therefore, brethren,

by the mercies of God, that ye pre-

sent your bodies a living sacrifice,

holy, acceptable unto God, which is

your reasonable service. And be not

conformed to this world: but be ye

transformed by the renewing of

your mind, that ye may prove what

is that good, and acceptable, and

perfect, will of God.
