History
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 this first service: Elder Omar S. Galloway, Deacon Jeffrey M. Dickerson, Brother David R. Milbourne, Mother Dorethea L. King, Sister Andrea L. Harrington, Brother Maurice L. Kelly, and Brother Tyshown K. Kelly.

On December 10, 2008, Pastor Galloway appointed Mother King to the first ministry of the Tabernacle, the Community Services Ministry.

In November of 2009, Sister Harrington and Deacon Dickerson formed the first choir of this congregation, the Tabernacle Ensemble.

On December 6, 2009, during the worship service of the Tabernacle's first church anniversary, Elder Galloway was installed as pastor of Nehemiah Tabernacle.

This ministry foundation is base on Philippians 1:27 which declares, "...that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;" Omargallow (talk) 14:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Statement of Doctrine
We believe that the bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, written by holy men of the old as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

We believe in one God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent.

We believe that Jesus was revealed to us as Father in Creation, as Son in Redemption, and Holy Spirit in His comforting grace that never leaves those who trust in Him.

We believe in the Virgin Birth; Jesus was both human and divine. He was God manifested in the flesh.

We believe in death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We believe in baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

We believe in sanctification and holiness.

We believe in Holy Communion, foot washing and divine healing.

We believe in serving others, especially individuals who can not help themselves.

Our chief aim is to glorify our Savior, who is Jesus the Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all inquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Omargallow (talk) 14:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
