Beulah Tabernacle Church

From humble beginnings in a brush arbor to a global online presence Beulah Tabernacle Church stands as a testament to faith. Its story began in 1883 a simple shelter amidst the brush. In 1890 it was formally organized as Beulah Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr and Mrs T Marion Winfree donated land. Marion and his brother Rupert gave lumber for the building. By 1895 the small white church had 54 members. The church served as a temporary school in 1929 after a fire destroyed Beulah School. Over the years the church underwent several expansions adding wings porches classrooms and even a kitchen. A Baldwin organ was installed enriching the worship experience. In 1958 a brick structure was built it now houses the Korean Baptist Church. The original sanctuary became classrooms. Continued growth led to a brick education wing in 1970. By the 1980s the church needed more space. Land was purchased across the street for a new education building. A new sanctuary was built in 1989 its steeple reaching for the heavens. The church’s growth continued. In 1999 a fellowship hall and more classrooms were added. The COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges but also opportunities.
