The main floor also includes the Sanctuary, Church Office, Chapel, Parlor, Prayer Room, Library, Nursery and access to the Parish Hall classrooms. There are two entrances on the main floor one on 55th Street which gives access to the Church Office and Parlor, and the other on Belmont Street giving access to the Sanctuary. There is an elevator connecting the lower floor to the main floor opposite the Parlor, near the office.

Sanctuary
Our Sanctuary was built in 1910 and has that popular "craftsman" charm, with its open beam, 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 an overflow Chapel with a capacity of an additional 100 people.

Parlor
Our church's "living room," the parlor is comfortably provided with couches, overstuffed arm chairs, coffee tables and a lovely baby grand piano. 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 sanctuary entrance area. It has a counter with a sink, instant hot water and supplies for making tea.

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. There is also a large institutional kitchen a new youth center, the main bathrooms and access to the Parish Hall classrooms.

Dining Room
The Dining Room, where 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 a beautiful, new facility. It houses a large meeting area with its own attached minikitchen, classroom, Youth Director's office and lobby area. It is equipped with a small stage, electronic equipment, foosball and pool tables, futons and various other youth accoutrements. It has its own entrance on the north side of the building.

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

Parish Hall
The Parish Hall was added to the main building in 1929, and is a classroom building. It houses the church's library, prayer room, and nursery, Sunday School and Scout rooms. In addition, it is home to the Cascades Presbytery Media Center, the Cascades Presbytery Camping Program, Circuit Rider Books (a nonprofit, mobile, religious bookseller) and the Mt. Tabor Preschool, the oldest continuously operating cooperative preschool in the city of Portland, founded in 1951.

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. 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
