The Christian Tabernacle (Chinese: 基督徒會堂; pinyin: Jidutu Huitang) is an independent Chinese church founded by Wang Mingdao in Beijing in 1925. The Christian Tabernacle was founded without the help of foreign missionaries so in essence it was Chinese Christians preaching to the Chinese populace. From the beginning, this church has been administratively self-governing and financially self-sufficient.[1]
