The Neo-Gothic style of the Tangos United Methodist Church is noted for the following features:
2009 Fire
On August 3, 2009, a fire started in the main sanctuary of the church. It quickly spread to other parts of the church. Damage included exposure of wooden and steel structural members, burnt concrete walls, collapsed G.I. roofing, shattered stained glasses, and breakage of the concrete spire. The damage caused by the fire cost approximately 12 million pesos.
The church is currently undergoing reconstruction. The reconstructed church will be finished in 2020. The Church Rebuilt Program was launched in 2011 to raise funds for rebuilding. Four million pesos was their target to be collected annually.
