Our Founders

Faith Tabernacle was founded by the visionary couple, Bishop Milton and Frances Perry, in Mobile, AL. Their journey began with a strong commitment to their faith after marrying in 1966, which led them to a life dedicated to Christian service. With a call to ministry, Bishop Milton pursued theological studies at Daniel Payne Theological Seminary. Their early ministry began in Los Angeles, but a divine inspiration prompted their return to Mobile, culminating in the establishment of Faith Tabernacle in 1981. Through their steadfast faith, they committed to community service and spiritual mentorship. Blessed with five children, they nurtured their congregation with heartfelt teachings and worship. Even after Bishop Perry's passing in 2011, Elder Frances Perry continues to serve as a beacon of hope, uplifting the community with her enduring faith and dedication.
