Welcome!
Tabor Heights was founded by three Portland Evangelical United Brethren congregations in the 1960's which became United Methodist when the two denominations joined in 1968. We express our faith in reaching out to people of need in our own fellowship, our community, and our world. We have adopted the motto-Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors- to show our commitment to helping others, our willingness to witness to our faith and to hear the witness of those whose experience has been different, and to welcome into our fellowship all who earnestly and sincerely wish to lead a more full life.
We are one in Christ. We welcome all persons from any or no faith backgrounds, who seek to grow in love with God and embrace our mission to live as Christ's body in the world today.
Sunday Summer Worship Service begins at 10am with no Sunday school. We return to our regular schedule of Sunday school classes at 9:30am and Sunday Worship Service at 11am on September 20th.

Kids Klub is being offered downstairs in the middle school classroom (Lainey & Sandra's class) during church service. All Kids beyond Nursery age are welcome. We will have games, toys, movies, snacks, arts & crafts available. This is not a Sunday School class, but a place for kids to hang out and have fun while parents attend worship. You may bring your kids down any time after the children's moment in the worship service. Please pick your kids up when the service is over.
