Starnes Cove Baptist Church

About this church

Starnes Cove Baptist Church begins Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and worship at 10:50 in Asheville. Classes serve ages from babies through adults, with nursery care and Kids Cove available during the main service. The congregation describes itself as a family on mission rather than a building or routine, welcoming people from varied backgrounds and life stages to grow, serve, and pursue Jesus together.

Founded in 1941, Starnes Cove has continued serving the neighborhood where Candler meets West Asheville as the surrounding community has changed. Students meet Sundays from 9:45 to 10:50 and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., combining Bible teaching, relationships, and age-specific activity. That schedule allows teenagers to join their own group before the main worship gathering and return midweek. Families should arrive before 9:45 for the full Sunday sequence and ask where nursery, Kids Cove, and adult classes meet. Check the calendar for seasonal student changes before a Wednesday visit.
