About West Asheville Presbyterian Church
West Asheville Presbyterian Church was started in 1916 on the same corner of Virginia and Haywood Roads where it exists today. Without a building to gather in, it began with a potato patch, tended by a collective of devoted farmers/charter members– who sold potatoes to fund the building that now stands at 690 Haywood Road, across from Ingles. This year, the church is celebrating its Centennial! Learn more at westashepres.org.About Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity
