A tabernacle is generally the main worship area of a structure. Placing it in the title to a church is more of personal preference, than of signifying something specific about the particular religion that placed it on their building.
It originates from Jewish history, where God resided in a tent like structure, that had various sections...the tabernacle being the place where He was worshiped from.

Carolmerel's answer is right on.
When the Tabernacle is mentioned today, it is a reference to the Tent that the Ark of the Covenant was housed in, before the Lord's Temple was built in Jerusalem. The church elders are likening their building to that tent: a place to meet God.

What I remember from my childhood is that the Tabernacle was a small safe-like box in a church to the right of the alter. In it was kept the communion wafer and wine.

In tthe Catholic Church, the tabernacle is the place where the consecrated hosts, the Body of Christ, is placed. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior is present under the appearance of bread. Jesus Christ is in the tabernacle.
My guess is that when a church uses the word "tabernacle" in the name of their church, they are emphasizing that God is present in their church.

tent
ohel moed from Hebrew, means "tent of meeting" - not sure if my transliteration spelling is normal, but Hebrew words don't work well with English alphabet.
The name of the tent constructed in the Sinai wilderness and used as Jews worship place until the time of Solomon.
This doesn't say anything about what they might teach... No way to know.
