You're Not Just Invited. You're Needed.

At Starnes Cove, we believe church is more than a building or a Sunday routine. It’s a family on mission. A place to grow, serve, and find your purpose in Christ. No perfect people, no stuffy religion— just real folks pursuing Jesus together and learning to love like He does. Come as you are. We’ll save you a seat.

About Starnes Cove

Who We Are

We’re a Gospel-centered church in West Asheville, NC with a heart for worship, discipleship, & serving our community.

For over 80 years, Starnes Cove has been a place where generations gather, grow in faith, and live out the love of Christ in real, practical ways.

We’re passionate about sharing the hope of Jesus— from our neighborhood to the nations, and we’re all about building up people who want to live on mission for something bigger than themselves.
