Mr. Ralph “ Mac” Trumbo and his new bride, Julia, moved back to Roanoke in 1973. They had both became Christians and God had given them a hunger and vision to reach the lost of their community.

In 1978 the Trumbo’s built a 30 x 60 metal building, and hoped that some day God would use it as a church. Mac and Julia Trumbo became the founder’s of what was then called Roanoke New Beginnings Tabernacle, and held their first service with Pastor Jimmy Parker on October 28, 1979.

Wayman Rogers of Evangel Tabernacle, now Evangel World Center helped the Trumbo’s by giving them chairs and moral support. Mac and Julia had attended Evangel Tabernacle while living in Louisville.

In 1989 under Pastor Naomi Patterson they built a new facility across the road from their metal building which holds around 200 people, and is currently where we are located. In the fall of 2006, God told Pastor Matt Trumbo to build a 2,000 seat church across the road on the property of Mac and Julia Trumbo, behind the metal building where it all began in 1979.

We are a non-denominational, end times church. Our service times on Sunday are Sunday School at 10 a.m. and Worship service starts at 11 a.m., with nursery provided for children who have not yet attended Kindergarten and under, and Children’s Church for children who are in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades. On Wednesday nights, we provide a meal for everyone at 5:45 p.m. and service starts at 6:30 p.m. After worship we divide into age appropriate categories for children, youth, and adults.

We believe there is no other way to Heaven than through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Only his blood can wash away our sins. We believe that we should strive to live a life that is holy and blameless. We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. The same miracles that Jesus and the disciples did, we can do today. We believe that God has not lost his power, people have just stopped believing.

Mark 16: 17, 18 Jesus said these signs will follow those believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

Please come as you are, and be blessed.
