Tabernacle (Methodist)

In Methodism (inclusive of the holiness movement), a tabernacle is the center of a camp meeting, where revival services occur.

[1][2] These evangelistic services are aimed at preaching the two works of grace in Methodism: (1) the New Birth and (2) entire sanctification.

[3][4] Tabernacles may be constructed in a cruciform-shaped fashion and are most often made of wood.

[5][6] Like the interior of many Methodist churches, in the center of the tabernacle is an altar upon which the Eucharist is consecrated; a pulpit stands near it and is used by preachers to deliver sermons.

[5] Surrounding the tabernacle itself are usually several cabins and/or tents, where people stay while attending the camp meeting.
