United Gospel Tabernacles is a non-denominational fellowship, most closely associated with the Pentecostal faith of the Christian religion.〔http://www.unitedgospeltabernacles.com〕 It is a missions based fellowship, currently operating in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. The most prominent of these nations are: the United States of America, Mexico, Italy, and Nigeria. United Gospel Tabernacles does not keep church rolls, but estimated attendance as of their 2006 business meeting in June, was over 2,000,000 worldwide. The exact number of churches in the United States is not certain, but estimates are over fifty, nationwide. United Gospel Tabernacles is also closely affiliated with International Bible Center, an unaccredited school of Biblical studies, in San Antonio, Texas. ==History==
The United Gospel Tabernacles has its roots in a group of fundamentalist style revivals in Texas in the early 1930s. The first of these revivals was held in Beaumont, Texas by Rev. Harry Hodge, an evangelist. Rev. Hodge continued to hold revivals all across Texas, eventually establishing many churches across the state. As these churches had been founded independently of any current denominations, Rev. Hodge felt it necessary to bind these churches together under a common banner. With the help of his good friend, the Texas Secretary of State, Rev. Hodge organized one of the first tax-exempt religious organization of its kind in the state.
