West Asheville Baptist Church

About this church

West Asheville Baptist Church in Asheville gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 926 Haywood Rd. The service runs about an hour and fifteen minutes. It opens with music that blends styles for several generations, led by a live band, praise teams, choir, and orchestra alongside congregational singing, and then moves into Bible teaching from the pastor. The church is Southern Baptist, holds to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, and says it has been part of the Asheville area since 1929. Dress is casual, and visitors will see everything from jeans to business attire.

Sunday morning small groups meet on campus before worship, around 9:15 to 9:30 a.m. (confirm the exact time on the website). They are open to anyone, and the welcome desk in the Main Worship Center can point newcomers to a group. Children from birth through 6th grade have age-grouped Bible time, and babies through 4th grade have a Kids Worship during the 10:30 service. First-time families check in at the Kids Welcome Center in the Family Life Building, where a security tag system is used. Wednesday evenings include an adult Bible study at 6:30 p.m. and programs for kids and students. Music groups include choir, orchestra, handbells, and a student music team. A weekday preschool program is also listed. Parking is available in the main lot across from the Main Worship Center, and services stream live on Facebook and YouTube.
