Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church, founded in 1845, started with a spring, a "brush arbor," and a few noisy Methodists making themselves at home on somebody else's land.  That land became a place for Methodist worship. 

Worship is the central focus of our congregational life.  It is a time when we come together as people of Christ to praise God through word, music, and fellowship, and to renew spiritually for the daily journey of faithful living.  We seek to provide a meaningful and relevant worship experience for persons and families of every age and stage in life.  We offer a traditional worship services at 11:00 a.m., a Praise & Worship service at 8:45 a.m., and a multi-sensory contemporary worship service called Higher Ground at 9:00 a.m.  Each of our services is visitor-friendly with a welcoming spirit to visitors.  Our goal is to spread the love and grace of God to all.

Our Music Ministry is a vital part of the life of Mt. Tabor.  Through its various choirs and instrumental groups, members and friends share their talents in praise and service to Christ's Church.

There are programs and ministry choices to meet the needs of all who come through the doors of Mt. Tabor where caring for others is a full-time commitment.  Our faith and lives are strengthened when we join together in worship, service, conversation, celebration, support, and learning as a whole church family.

Music is provided by a band that always includes guitars, keyboard and drums, but may also have violin, mandolin, banjo, trumpet, sax or harmonica.  Music is specially selected to illustrate the theme and ranges from Jimmy Buffett to Jeremy Camp, including the occasional Barber Shop Quartet - all interpreted through images and lyrics on our screen.
