What is Tabernacle
The Tent presents
Tabernacle is not another conference.
It is where faith and influence come together to explore how discipleship is designed in the rooms that already shape a generation — companies, teams, ministries, and everyday life.
Founders and executives share how culture is formed under pressure. Athletes reveal how platform becomes invitation. Ministry leaders press teaching into pathways that make disciples who make disciples.
And every serious believer is welcome to apply — if you want formation that becomes practice, this room is built for you too.

Frequently asked
Everything you need before applying.
01What is Tabernacle?
Tabernacle is The Tent’s annual gathering. In 2026 the theme is Design(ed) to Disciple — a focused Saturday intensive for people who form others in business, sport, ministry, and everyday life, followed by a free Sunday worship night.
02Who should apply?
Three tribes in one room: founders and executives, athletes with platform, and ministry leaders — plus believers who want formation that becomes practice. If you influence people where you already stand, apply.
03Is it really invite-only?
Yes. To keep the room sharp, every application is reviewed. We are looking for people ready to practice discipleship in their field — not casual drop-ins.
04What is the investment?
Early bird is $50 for the Saturday intensive (application required). That covers Saturday plus Sunday worship. You can also apply for worship night only — Session 04 — Acts — which is free.
05What does the weekend look like?
Saturday runs roughly 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM with Altars, Hearts, and Disciples sessions plus tribe breakouts. Sunday evening is Session 04 — Acts: a free worship night open to the city.
06When and where?
November 28–29, 2026 in Chicago. Venue details, parking, and check-in instructions go out with invitation confirmation.
