TCAA 36th Anniversary Service
We will be celebrating the 36th Anniversary of The Church at Asheville. What started in a modest storefront on Lexington Avenue in downtown Asheville is now a thriving community on hill in Chunn's Cove. Join us as we honor God for beginning this ministry of love and nurturing it over the last three and a half decades.
Our guest speaker is a good friend, ministry partner, and an inspiring man of God. Javier and Danielle are loving friends that we have partnered in ministry with for the last ten years. Honduras, Los Angeles, New York, and Florida are just a few of the locations where they have served. We've had the pleasure to work beside them as well as invite them to Asheville to minister to us. They are transparent loving people with Godly insight that is always right on time. They know our Lord and share His love and His vision of restoration in each of us.
Following the service we will have a cookout on the grounds, so please stay and enjoy the time together!
