Diversity in Asheville, NC is multidimensional. As significant as racial and ethnic diversity is, there is a stark contrast between wealth and poverty that exists in the downtown community.

The Haywood Street Congregation seeks to be a place of welcome to all. It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you look like, what your sexual orientation is, whether you have a home or not, or whether you are rich or poor. We eat together, work together, worship together. We are family. Please join us!
