Central Pentecostal Tabernacle, Modernist church building in Edmonton, Canada

The Central Pentecostal Tabernacle is a modernist church building in Edmonton featuring a flat-roofed box structure with a pyramid-shaped addition. The pyramid section includes expansive curtain wall glazing at its entrances and creates a striking contrast with the original rectangular form.

Architect Peter Hemingway designed the original structure in 1964 as a modernist church building. A significant pyramid-shaped addition was constructed in 1972 to accommodate the expanding congregation.

The design reflects influences from French architect Le Corbusier through its use of asymmetrical windows and reinforced concrete in the International Style. These elements continue to shape how visitors experience the building's visual character.

The 1964 square building and the 1972 pyramid building were sold in 2006; the congregation moved to a new building in north Edmonton. Visitors looking for the original Central Pentecostal Tabernacle should note that the pyramid structure no longer serves as the church.

The 1972 "Pyramid building" seated 1,800 people, more than the 1,000-seat square building Peter Hemingway designed and dedicated on October 4, 1964. Both structures were sold in 2006, when the congregation moved to a new building in north Edmonton.
