Tabernacle Baptist Church
1200 Country Club
Ennis, TX 75119

Tabernacle Baptist Church is a biblically rooted church whose vision is to “experience the presence of God by cultivating a culture of families who invest in each other.” Our desire is to see that accomplished through biblically sound teaching, discipleship, and a church community that challenges and equips God’s people to growth and service.

Tabernacle (TAB) has been a part of the Ennis community since 1899. Ennis, a small, rural town in Ellis County 30 miles south of Dallas, is a rapidly growing, diverse community. Like the rest of the Metroplex, we are starting to see more people, more industry, and more retail businesses coming to town. Consequently, we are growing as a church and looking forward to seeing how we can reach our new neighbors.

Our body meets on a beautiful 20-acre campus with a sanctuary, education building, family life center, and a new Children’s building. We average between 400-500 people over our two contemporary, dynamic worship services on Sunday. We prefer an expository preaching style with messages that are biblically and hermeneutically sound which serve to equip the body. We have a very healthy, mature congregation evenly distributed across all age groups. We disciple our members through Sunday school classes, home groups, discipleship, and accountability groups, Bible studies, and children’s, youth, and young adults ministry. Missions are important to us and we have a “glocal” (Global and Local) mission focus: Internationally in Indonesia, Vancouver, and Ecuador; Locally in Huntsville, TX, greater Ellis County, and Ennis.

The Pastor Search Team is prayerfully seeking the man God is already preparing to lead the Tabernacle Family as Senior Pastor. We desire a man with a clear call from God, proven leadership, a gifted preacher, and a heart for his congregation and community. He should have an excitement and love for God’s Word which permeates his own life and should communicate relationally with the congregation to see hearts and lives transformed. With Titus 1 and 1 Timothy 3 as God’s qualifications, we are looking for a man of good character both inside and outside the home, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, who models faithful leadership in his home that overflows into his leadership at church.
