Designedto Worship

The Tabernacle is a two-day gathering crafted to bring together creatives and ministers under one roof—exploring the sacred intersection of design and worship.

It's where kingship..meets priesthood..

Our mission is to cultivate a space where design becomes ministry and worship inspires creativity—empowering a new generation to create with purpose, excellence, and the presence of God.

What's Inside

Day 1 - Design

Through lightning talks, panels, and workshops, we will explore the role design plays in worship.

"And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,"

— Exodus 31:3–4 (NKJV)

Doors Open: 3:00 PM

Program Starts: 3:30 PM

Day 2 - Worship

Through prayer, worship, and harmony with God's Word, we will explore the role worship plays in God's design.

"All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and worshiped, each man in his tent door. So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle."

— Exodus 33:10–11 (NKJV)

Doors Open: 5:00 PM

Program Starts: 5:30 PM

Venue

Why Harvey, Illinois?

Harvey, Illinois was founded in 1890 by Turlington W. Harvey—a devout Christian who designed an entire city where churches, businesses, creatives, and ministers could thrive together. After rebuilding Chicago following the Great Fire, this faithful entrepreneur created the "magic city" with factories, schools, a Carnegie Library, and vibrant faith communities, growing from prairie to 5,000 residents in just three years. Harvey became one of America's greatest communities until the Panic of 1893 swept the nation.

Today, we're hosted by Bible Church of Reconciliation, whose mission is reconciling hearts back to Christ through worship, prayer, and ministering to spiritual and physical needs—teaching the undiluted Word of God and equipping believers to win souls through discipleship.

We gather here because this city and this church embody our theme: when Christians design with purpose—bringing creatives and ministers together—they build for God's glory and community flourishing.
