Main Floor
The main floor also includes the Sanctuary, Church Office, TaborSpace, Chapel, Parlor, Prayer Room, Library, Muir Hall, Nursery, and access to the Parish Hall classrooms. 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 CoffeePlace. 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 an overflow Chapel that has a capacity of an additional 100 people.

Chapel (aka. TaborSpace CommonRoom)
Cozy, wood ceilinged room with stained glass windows and a majestic fireplace. It is normally set up for informal gatherings with bistro tables and wood chairs, pew/couches and overstuffed chairs. This room is also used for small worship services, small weddings, or memorial services with no more than 75 guests. It is regularly used as seating for TaborSpace CoffeeHouse and for intimate concerts.

Parlor The 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 main hall outside of the Santuary. It has a counter with a sink, instant hot water, and supplies for making tea.

TaborSpace
CoffeeHouse, CommonRoom, & CourtYard

.....

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, pews, 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.
