Design(ed) to Disciple
A two-day shut-in to encounter God through extended prayer, worship, and harmony with the Word.
Sat–Sun · Nov 21–22 · 2026 · Free · Limited Seats
The Vision
Practice the Presence.
The Tabernacle is a place to encounter God through extended prayer, worship, and harmony with the Word of God.
A retreat-style shut-in where we spend an entire day experiencing Acts 2:42 — devoted to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayers.
This Year's Theme
Design(ed) to Disciple
We are created to disciple — and we should create to disciple. These two days are set apart to hear God’s mind on discipleship and to practice it together.
The Shut-In
How We Dwell.
Two days intentionally set apart to seek God through prayer, worship, fasting, Scripture, personal reflection, and fellowship with the Body of Christ.
Consecration
We open by dedicating the time to God — welcome, worship, and aligning our hearts.
One-on-One with God
Silence and solitude to pray, read, journal, listen, or simply sit in His presence.
The Word & Prayer
Bible study, corporate prayer, and small groups that carry one another’s needs.
Freedom
Optional space for healing, restoration, and deliverance prayer with ministry partners — never required.
The Weekend
Two Days. One Pursuit.
November 21–22, 2026 · Chicago
Day 1
All-Day Dwelling
Saturday · Nov 21 · Dwelling · 9 AM – 9 PM
A full retreat day of consecration, prayer, the Word, and fellowship.
Day 2
Worship Night
Sunday · Nov 22 · Worship Tent · From 5:30 PM
We gather under the Worship Tent to close the weekend in God’s presence.
Exact session flow may shift as we build the weekend. Come ready to dwell — not to chase a printed agenda.
Consecration
Fasting Options
Personal · Voluntary · Choose Your Level
Fasting is encouraged as part of our consecration, but participation and length are personal and voluntary.
Full Fast
9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
12 hours with water only.
Partial Fast
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
6 hours with water only.
Introductory Fast
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
3 hours with water only — a good entry if you are newer to fasting.
If you should not abstain from food for health or medical reasons, choose an alternative fast — stepping away from social media, entertainment, or another regular distraction.
Come for the full day or participate in the portions you are able to attend.
What You'll Walk Away With
Clarity and Company.
- 01
God's Mind on Discipleship
A deeper understanding of discipleship — and where you fit in His design.
- 02
A Community on the Same Pursuit
People seeking the same encounter: prayer, worship, and the Word together.
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”Acts 2:42 (ESV)
Express Interest
Tell Us You're Coming.
Tabernacle is free. Seats are limited. We’d love to know who’s coming and what you’re bringing — gifts, prayer, worship, presence, or simply a hungry heart.
Frequently Asked
Before You Come.
01Do I have to fast?
No. Fasting is encouraged and voluntary. Choose a level that fits you — or an alternative fast if food abstinence isn’t wise for your health.
02Do I need to come both days?
We hope you’ll come for the full shut-in. If you can’t, join the portions you can — Day 1 dwelling and/or Day 2 Worship Tent.
03Where is it?
Chicago. Venue, parking, and check-in details go out once we confirm seats.
04Is there a set schedule?
We’ll share a working flow closer to the weekend. Expect consecration, solitude with God, the Word, corporate prayer, and worship — not a rigid conference agenda.
05Is this a confirmed RSVP?
Not yet. Expressing interest helps us plan seats. We’ll email next steps if a spot is available.
