At a specially called business meeting on May 15, 2016 - Pentecost Sunday - the membership of Tabernacle Baptist Church approved the bylaws revisions as recommended by the Bylaws Committee.  These updated bylaws affirm our position as a church that welcomes and affirms all who seek to follow Jesus with the inclusion of this statement:

The practice and policy of Tabernacle Baptist Church is to welcome into full membership and participation in our faith community all persons who profess Jesus as Lord regardless of race, class, gender, disability, place of origin, sexual orientation, or any other distinction.

​At the conclusion of this meeting Pastor Joyce read a letter to the congregation announcing her intent to retire at the end of July 2016.  Her last Sunday in the pulpit will be on July 17.

​The Pastoral Relations Committee will host a special retirement recognition for Pastor Joyce on Saturday, September 17 to be held at the church.
