The Tabernacle was built as a temporary place for God to interface directly with his chosen people, the Hebrews, until a more permanent Temple could be built. In short, a less-expensive, more portable version of the Temple that was eventually built in Jerusalem (they served the same purpose).

(Hebrews 8:5)

They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

(Hebrews 9:23-28)

23It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence. 25Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Which denomination does tabernacle belongs to?

The English word Tabernacle comes for the Latin for Tent. It was first used in English to refer to the portable sanctuary built by the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert (see the book of Exodus). During the 19th century, tents used for revival meetings were frequently referred to as tabernacles. The Mormon church refers to their public sanctuary in Salt Lake City as a tabernacle, and a random assortment of congregations use the name tabernacle in the names of their churches. There are many Tabernacle Baptist Churches, and a fair number of similarly named churches of other denominations.
