Easter Vigil, the first Service of Easter Celebration Sat. at 8:00 pm

      A new service for our congregation! But ancient in the history of the church. The Vigil was the time that new converts would be baptized after their preparation during the season of Lent. We will gather in the courtyard to light the Paschal Candle from the fire, move to the chapel for readings, and then announce the resurrection of Jesus and celebrate holy communion. Our District Superintendent, the Rev. Bev Coppley, will be preaching and helping to lead our worship.

You are Welcome Here!

Our congregation, College Place, has decided to become a Lighthouse Congregation of The Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church in partnership with The United Methodist Collective. In doing so, we not only commit to remaining a part of The United Methodist Church but also to serving those who have lost their church homes through disaffiliation or closure. We will partner in this work by providing a welcoming place, offering ministry opportunities, helping organize remnant groups in our community, and assisting individuals and groups in discerning their next steps as they find a new church home.
