Welcome to Tabernacle of Praise Church

Founded in 1998 by Senior Pastor John S. Pyles, Sr., The Tabernacle of Praise Family Worship Center began with just 18 members meeting in a former auto parts building. Today, it stands as one of Houston's fastest-growing contemporary, non-denominational ministries, affectionately known as "The TOP" by its members. Committed to impacting lives positively, The TOP has pioneered various ministries aimed at community development.

The TOP’s mission is to introduce and connect people with the living and powerful God as we empower them to navigate through life's interruptions.

We started off YAMs month with Minister Jeremy Wright from the Fountain of Praise who came with a powerful message. “God don’t give me less, teach me how to handle more.”

The very weight that feels like it is crushing you, is actually the resistance training you to get to your next level. Because you can’t get a level 10 blessing with a level 2 character so, let’s continue to grow TOP family!

The entire month of May is dedicated to our young adults so bring a friend, bring a young adult with you as we continue through Steadfast in the Stretch 🙏🏽

They cover us in prayer. They carry vision. They pour out week after week, often in ways we never even see.

So this isn’t just a campaign… it’s a response.

The Dad Seed: $1 a Day ($365 a year) is our way of honoring the ones who continually sacrifice for us. As they intercede, lead, and serve, we choose to sacrifice back, intentionally, faithfully, together.

This seed goes toward Honors Day, where we don’t just say thank you, we pour into our First Family the way they’ve poured into us.

“This is why we request you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who care for you and who instruct you. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:12–13

This isn’t about obligation.
It’s about honor.
It’s about gratitude.
It’s about recognizing the weight they carry and choosing to stand with them.

Will you sow your $365 seed?

Give today through our GIVELIFY app. Honor intentionally. 🙌🏽

Sunday reminded us to be mindful of our words, but even more mindful of God’s grace. Luke 15:12 shows us that even when we drift, we’re never out of reach. You’re not too far gone. You’re still loved. You’re still redeemable. 🙏🏾

Sometimes we’re asking for “right now” when God is saying “not yet.”

“Father, I want RIGHT NOW what’s coming to me.” blessed us beyond measure. This Sunday challenged us to check our words, trust God’s timing, and stay postured in faith.

Because what’s for you is coming… just not always on your timeline.

Some Sundays don’t go as planned… and that’s exactly how you know God is in the room.

Pastor came with a message, but the Spirit had its own agenda, and we chose to follow. No script, no structure… just surrender. Because sometimes, you don’t need a sermon,
you need an encounter.

And yesterday? We had one.

If you’ve ever felt like God was shifting something in real time, this was that kind of Sunday. REMEMBER, it is TURNING AROUND IN YOUR FAVOR!!
