Pentecostal Tabernacle is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-generational church. Situated between Harvard University’s and MIT’s campuses, we have a large population of students that attend our church. Whether you are nine or ninety or whether you come in a suit and hat or a pair of jeans, all are welcome.
Prayer & Worship
Pentecostal Tabernacle is a church that strongly believes in the power of prayer. Before each service starts we have corporate prayer for fifteen minutes. Feel free to join in prayer with us at your seat.
Our praise and worship team will open up the service with 3-4 songs. Pentecostal Tabernacle’s music reflects the diversity of our congregation. Our sound is a blend of traditional, contemporary, and international music. We look forward to worshipping with you and hope you experience the presence of God as we praise the Lord together.
Do you have childcare during the service?
At both the 8:30 and 11:00 AM services we provide a nursery for young children, ages 0-4. We also have a Sunday School for children aged four all the way through high-school from 9:45 – 10:45 AM. Nursery and Sunday School are located across the street at 345 Washington Street.

What do I do after the service?
At Pentecostal Tabernacle we believe in the personal touch. We invite you and those you came with to join us at a welcome reception directly after the 11:00 AM service. The reception will take place across the street from the church on the first floor of 345 Washington Street. Let us greet you over a cup of coffee and a pastry.
If you would like prayer, one of the members of our prayer team will be happy to pray with you. They will be standing at the front of the sanctuary after each service.
