Our History

   The sign on our building says, “Dedicated in 1986”, but Pembroke Pentecostal Tabernacle was established long before that. The humble beginnings of the church is rooted in a camp meeting held in Arnprior in 1923. It seemed good in the Lord and the people were praying that a Pentecostal church be established in Pembroke. The first services were held in a home on Pembroke Street West with only seven people in attendance.

   In March of 1924, the “Local Assembly”, which is now Pembroke Pentecostal Tabernacle was formally and legally established.

   Throughout the years, we have been blessed with great people and great leadership and the Holy Spirit has added to the church throughout four generations. The first church home was established at 202 Renfrew Street in Pembroke. In 1937, the “basement” church was dedicated and in 1945, the “top” was added.

   Land was subsequently purchased for the present location and this building was dedicated to the Lord in 1986.

   We continue to serve the City of Pembroke and surrounding area with a family oriented ministry.
