The Chicago Gospel Tabernacle was an unusual church for its day. It was led by Paul Rader, an evangelist who used popular music, dramas and printed leaflets to attract people to the gospel. Rader began using radio regularly in 1922 and is considered the first religious broadcaster. Clarence Jones was responsible for many different ministries at the Tabernacle including radio station WJBT - Where Jesus Blesses Thousands.

The Chicago Gospel Tabernacle was closed after little more than a decade of ministry. But Paul Rader inspired and mentored many young people, leaving an eternal legacy of ministry.
