We are grateful to the scores of people, near and far, who contributed their time and talents towards the rebuilding of our church home, allowing us to celebrate Christmas Eve in our sanctuary. Thank you as well to Perry Alexander for skillfully capturing the magic of this holy night.

Returning to 165 S. Main Street!!
Dear friends,
We’re writing to share some wonderful news: starting Sunday, December 14, we will be holding our worship services in the sanctuary of our own church building at 165 S. Main Street! We are overjoyed. You may enter either through the front door, or the ramp from the parking lot.
It’s important to state that the rebuilding is far from complete. The sanctuary, which was always our first priority, will be largely finished. The mini-splits have been installed, the flooring and the wainscoting is beautiful, and the finishing touches will be done this week. There is a new hearing loop system installed, which will provide access to users of hearing aids. The pews are scheduled to arrive Tuesday morning, and the piano on Thursday. While our new chairs won’t be available until December 16, we have been gifted chairs that will arrive this week. In other words, you won’t need to bring a folding chair to church!
But…the kitchen and the bathrooms will not be complete until closer to the end of the year. (One bathroom is accessible at this time.) And the fellowship hall will not be finished until sometime in the new year.
We hope to hold a larger celebration of our return in 2026, but please plan to join us as we celebrate the final Sundays of Advent--and Christmas Eve!--in our church sanctuary. As always, if you have any questions please let us know.

A Year Post-Helene: An interview with Presbyterian News Service
We are so grateful to this Presbytery, to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), and to the Presbyterian News Service for the time they spent talking with our Transitional Pastor, Merri Alexander, and our Ruling Elder Howard Seiler about this past year. Please spend a moment with us, and while we may not be (yet) back in our church building--it's not far off!

Mission Study Report is complete!
Mission Study Report is complete! This is one of the steps required for seeking a new pastor. This report will be submitted to the Presbytery of Western North Carolina. When the PWNC approves this document, we are free to establish a Pastor Nominating Committee which will use this information to help guide the process of matching our church with prospective pastors.
