Welcome to Bethel Tabernacle Online. The word Bethel is first mentioned in the book of Genesis. Jacob, the grandson of Abraham and son of Isaac, had been running from his own brother, whom he feared all night. He was caught in a life or death situation. Choosing to live; he was cut off from his family, his home, his people, and his natural inheritance. He was all alone. It was in this dire situation that Jacob laid down his head on a rock in the middle of nowhere and God appeared to him in a vision. Jacob saw a “ladder set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the LORD stood above it.”


What had started out as a hopeless situation had now become an encounter with God. Jacob basically found himself at phone booth that reached to heaven God being on the other end of the line (ladder) made promises to him and ended the promises by saying “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go…for I will not leave you until I have done that [the promises] which I have spoken unto you.” This experience from God left Jacob awestruck. He would rename the place Bethel, which means House of God.


If you feel like Jacob did; alone, distressed, hopeless or maybe just unfulfilled, you might be ready for a Bethel experience with God. Bethel Tabernacle is a place where you can get a hold of God, and there is no busy signal on the other line. Though we can guarantee you will feel the presence of God in one of our services, it will be up to you know God for yourself. After Jacob left Bethel, many years later he came back to the same location and renamed El-Bethel, which means “The God of the House of God.” We do not want you to just meet God at our church; we want you to make him the God of your life.
