Main Floor
The main floor also includes the Sanctuary, Church Office, TaborSpace, Copeland Commons, Parlor, Library, Muir Hall, Nursery, and access to the Parish House. There are three entrances on the main floor; one on 55th Street which gives access to the Church Office and Parlor, and the others on Belmont Street giving access to the Sanctuary or the TaborSpace Coffee House. There is an elevator connecting the lower floor to the main floor opposite the Parlor, near the office.

Sanctuary
Our Sanctuary was built 1909-1910 and has that popular "craftsman" charm, with its open beams, wood ceilings, and brick walls. A handcrafted pipe organ dominates the front of the church, and 6 beautiful stained glass windows complete the ambiance.
There is seating for 275 people, with Copeland Commons adjacent which has a capacity of an additional 100 people.

Copeland Commons
Cozy, wood ceilinged room with stained glass windows and a majestic fireplace. It is the home of TaborSpace with its bistro tables and wood chairs, couches and overstuffed chairs. This room is also used for worship services, small weddings, or memorial services with no more than 75 guests. It is regularly used as seating for TaborSpace CoffeeHouse and for concerts.

Parlor The church's "living room", the parlor is comfortably provided with couches, overstuffed arm chairs, and coffee tables. One entire wall is made of windows and the other is a sliding divider, which allows it to be a warm private space, or an open extension to the main hall outside of the Santuary. It has a counter with a sink, instant hot water, and supplies for making tea.

.....

Set at the base of the 100-year-old Bell Tower, TaborSpace bridges the gap between church and community, bringing us all together in a CoffeeHouse atmosphere. Enjoy an espresso drink, tea, or fresh baked pastry; sit with your laptop in the CommonRoom or meet with friends or co-workers at one of the tables or cushy chairs you will find there. Private and public concerts, poetry readings, book clubs, and other events are known to happen in the evening hours in the CommonRoom. Local artists display their work in the CoffeeHouse, rotating works every month.

Lower Floor
The lower floor has its main entrance from the parking lot on 54th Street. From the parking lot one passes by the children's playground on one side and the large grass playing field on the other to enter the building near the Dining Room and Youth Center. There is also a large institutional kitchen, the youth center, the main bathrooms, and access to the Parish House classrooms and Mt. Tabor Co-op Preschool.

Dining Room
The Dining Room, where large receptions are held, is directly below the Sanctuary. It can be divided in half with a movable partition. The main section is equipped with a stage and a window service opening to the large institutional kitchen.
It has a maximum capacity of 250 people.

Youth Center
The Youth Center is now the new home of Mt. Tabor Cooperative Preschool, who moved to this space for their 61st year of operation in our building - the oldest continuously operating cooperative preschool in the city of Portland, founded in 1951.

Play Yard
Large, open, grassy area, used by church and community alike. It is a great place for active play and special events.

Parish House
The Parish House was added to the main building in 1929, and is a classroom building. It houses the library, nursery, and the offices/studios of the Parish House Partners. In addition, it is home to the Cascades Presbytery Media Center, the Cascades Presbytery Camping Program. Other groups often come and go as well. Room use is scheduled by TaborSpace.

Handicap access
Much of the building has been retrofitted to make it handicap accessible. The pews have areas for wheelchair access. There are ramps leading to the main doors on Belmont Street and on 55th. We also have a small elevator for handicapped access between the main floor and lower floor. We can provide devices to aid the hearing impaired for the sanctuary and chapel events. The lower floor restrooms are handicap accessible.
