Central United Methodist Church, Asheville

It all began about 173 years ago, when a little church was built in Asheville; it was the city’s first and only place of worship during that time. Today, right on the grounds where that small church existed, one can find the grand Central United Methodist Church; its construction began in 1902. Since its founding in 1837, it managed to gather a big family of believers, counting over 3,000 members. Everybody is welcome to become a part of the Methodist’s Church community.
