ABOUT US
"Joyfully reaching out in love as God’s people."
​
Lord of Life is a friendly and welcoming church in Tabernacle, NJ.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The idea of a Lutheran Church in Tabernacle was originated in the 1980s by the then-Bishop of the NJ Synod as he drove to the beach each summer.
In 1985 Pastor David Jones was tasked with starting the church from scratch and the first church service was in the Indian Mills School gym (taking communion on the foul line) in 1986.
In 1992 the church building opened, followed by the Faith Development Center in 2006. Grace Place preschool, located within FDC, opened its doors in Sept. 2007.
​
Pastor Barry Scott is currently with us at Lord of Life.
​
Our mission statement reflects the core values of our church: Joyfully reaching out in love as God's people.
​
On 10/29/23 we announced that we as Lord of Life Lutheran Church are a Mental Health Stigma-Free Zone! We are a safe place to speak about mental health, ask for support, pray together, and we are allies who seek to build up the resources in our community for people to grow in mental health.
