Pastor Al Toledo is a husband, father, grandfather, and Lead Pastor of Chicago Tabernacle and Philadelphia Tabernacle. He was headed for a promising career as a professional baseball player when God saved him on the baseball field. While attending the Brooklyn Tabernacle, Pastor Al became friends with Chrissy Cymbala, and in time, they fell in love and both felt a call to serve the Lord together. They married in 1992 and began serving in full time ministry. After several years in pastoral ministry, Pastor Al, Chrissy, and their family moved to Chicago in 2002, to plant Chicago Tabernacle, a multi-ethnic and vibrant church. Over the past 20 plus years, Chicago Tabernacle has experienced God do above and beyond what they could ask or imagine. In 2022, through a series of miracles, Philadelphia Tabernacle was launched as the first multi-site campus and is already seeing God move in incredible ways! Pastor Al lives with a fervent desire to see people become all God has called them to be. He is the Founder of DNA of a Leader, a leadership training launched in 2012 to staff and lay leaders at Chicago Tabernacle, emanating from his over 25 years of ministry experience. Since then DNA has been taught globally, in multiple seminaries, and in various cities.
