Nehemiah Tabernacle, Inc. truly is a worship community for all people that focuses on unifying straight, gay, lesbian and transgendered individuals through fellowship and worship. This diverse congregation welcomes everyone, regardless of their cultural or financial background.

On August 2, 2008, Brother David R. Milbourne, Deacon Jeffrey M. Dickerson and Elder Omar S. Galloway held a series of discussions with the intent of establishing a congregation in the city of Philadelphia, which will meet the needs of all people, especially the members of the LGT community.

Deacon Dickerson encouraged his life partner, Elder Galloway to allow the Tabernacle to worship in their Germantown home. On Sunday, December 7, 2008, Elder Galloway invited this congregation to worship in their home.

The following members were presented in the first service: Elder Omar S. Galloway, Deacon Jeffrey M. Dickerson, Brother David R. Milbourne, Mother Doretha L. King, Sister Andrea L. Harrington, Brother Maurice L. Kelly, and Brother Tyshown K. Kelly.

This congregation is affiliated with the Affirming Pentecostal Church International.

This ministry foundation is based on Philippians 1:27 which declares, "...that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"
