designated =The Central Pentecostal Tabernacle was a Pentecostal church in Edmonton, Canada that stood until 2007. The large complex covered an entire city block, featured a cedar and glass pyramid and included several buildings and the associated Northwest Bible College (now Vanguard College).

The site was locally famous as the location of the "Singing Christmas Tree" choir concerts. The complex belonged to the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, and were that denomination's largest church at one point. The site is located in the Queen Mary Park neighbourhood, just to the north of the downtown.

The two main buildings, one square and one pyramid-shaped, were constructed in 1964 and 1972 respectively and designed by Peter Hemingway. The "square building" was one of Edmonton's only buildings in the international style. The pyramid was considered precusor to Hemingway's signature work, the multiple pyramids of the Muttart Conservatory.

In 2002 the buildings were abandoned and the congregation moved to a suburban location. The site was eventually sold to Time Developments and re-zoned for condominiums. The Edmonton Historical Board and the Historical Resources Review Panel recommended that the buildings be given protective status, but this was rejected by city council. In 2007 the Heritage Canada Foundation listed the site as one of the "top ten endangered places in Canada". [ [http://www.heritagecanada.org/eng/featured/risk.html#topten The Heritage Canada Foundation - Featured Heritage Buildings ] ] The buildings were demolished six months later. As of 2008 "The Edge" condos are under construction on the site of the main sanctuary, the former Northwest Bible College buildings are being used as commercial offices, and the former overflow parking lot is now the site of the "The Vermillion" condos.

The Tabernacle was replaced by the North Pointe Communuity Church, a suburban megachurch on 167 Avenue and 140 Street. [ [http://www.northpointechurch.ca/index.shtml North Pointe Community Church in Edmonton, Alberta (Central Pentecostal Tabernacle) ] ]
