Church History
In 1998, Dr. John S. Pyles Sr. and Dr. Cheryl Pyles founded the Tabernacle of Praise (TOP) Family Worship Center with 18 members. The TOP was old, abandoned auto parts store that was turned into a 6,000 sqft worship center with a 400 seats. In 2024, God blessed the TOP to secure a multimillion-dollar loan to construct the Dream Center, a new state-of-the-art, multi-purpose 21,639 sqft center that seats 1,000 members and guests. Today, the TOP is a viable, hybrid church with a total of 6,000 people watching online and attending in-person globally and we look forward to advancing the kingdom of Jesus Christ daily.
