Where We've Been

Our History

1990’s

A Church Is Reborn

Bishop Lundy Logue takes the helm of Apostolic Tabernacle in Wilmington, NC with a God-given vision to build a church that reflects the diversity of heaven. With only a handful of families but a passion to carve out a work for God, revival began to happen. Early on, a van ministry was established to reach “whosoever will” with the gospel. The small building where they held services was expanded, and construction was completed on the Family Center, which served as the sanctuary for a time.

Growing & Reaching

Having outgrown their facilities, construction was completed on the current sanctuary in 2000. The church grew and established ministries including kids, youth, and outreach programs that served the Wilmington community. Weekly Bible studies and small groups were added, and the church experienced tremendous growth. An invigorated focus was also placed on missions, assisting churches with prayer and financial support both in the US and all over the world. Missions trips to foreign countries helped to establish over 80 churches.

Tried by Fire

In 2020, Evan Grizzle is voted in as the new pastor of Apostolic Tabernacle. He and his wife Ashley seek to build on the foundation Bishop Logue laid over three decades ago and lead the church into a new era of revival. Carolina Christian Academy was also established to give kids a safe place to learn and receive a high-quality education. But the road ahead would be anything but easy. Covid forced the church to try and maintain momentum and revival without gathering together — services and Bible studies moved online as technology became a lifeline to keep the body united, connected, and cared for. Through it all, they trusted in God to see them through. Then a devastating fire forced the congregation out of their newly remodeled sanctuary and into the family center. Yet it was during this season that Pastor Grizzle felt God drawing the church back to prayer and renewed consecration — solidifying and unifying the body through one of its most difficult chapters. After 18 months, Apostolic Tabernacle moved back into a fully renovated sanctuary, stronger than ever.

A New Season

The church is in a new season of growth and vision. With 24/7 prayer and a foundation of consecration, the church is now focused on “going” — walking in the spiritual gifts and authority that God has given the church. Ongoing education is training up leaders, and systems have been put in place to handle the growth God is giving. With multiple campus works on the horizon — including Burgaw, NC — Apostolic Tabernacle is expanding its footprint and impact across the region.

Decades of faithfulness. A future full of promise.
Come be a part of what God is doing!
