William Branham served as the pastor of this congregation from its founding in 1933 until his death in 1965.
The tabernacle was originally constructed after a series of local revival meetings held by Branham in the early 1930s.
It is considered the epicenter for the 'Message' movement, a global following that distributes Branham's recorded sermons in over 70 languages.
The property is maintained by the Voice of God Recordings, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Branham's life work.
The congregation intentionally avoids affiliation with formal denominations, adhering strictly to the theological tenets documented in Branham's archives.
The Branham Tabernacle serves as the historic home congregation for William Marrion Branham, a 20th-century evangelist central to the Latter Rain movement. Located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the building functions as a site of pilgrimage for followers of Branham's ministry worldwide. The site houses an archive of sermon recordings and provides access to literature associated with his theological teachings. It remains an active place of worship that maintains the original religious practices established during Branham's lifetime. Visitors come primarily to research the history of the Pentecostal movement or to attend services consistent with Branham's message.
