Our Sanctuary Roof Project is moving forward. George Riggsbee has created a display of the beautiful new roof files in the upper parking lot near the back door entrance. We are now raising the final $100,000 for the roof project; the cost of supplies has greatly increased due to Hurricane Helene. To date, we have received donations/pledges in the amount of $30,000. We still have $70,000 to meet our goal. If you did not receive a capital campaign letter, please call the church office (828-733-1939) and we will send you a copy.

The CPC Hurricane Relief and Recovery Fund total income = $146,730.62; total expenses = $134,620.23; Balance = $12,110.30. (We will be receiving around $35,000 from Covenant Presbyterian Church to cover 50% of our hurricane fund expenses over the past few months- these funds will go back into our CPC hurricane fund). Covenant Presbyterian Church is also extending Bobbie Willard’s position as the CPC hurricane relief/recovery projects coordinator for three more months. What an amazing gift! Thanks to everyone who has contributed funds and volunteer support. It has been eight months since Hurricane Helene devastated our mountain communities- much has been accomplished with more yet to do.  Click here for more information on the distribution of the funds.

“Growing Deeper in Faith, Reaching Out in Love” - Mission Statement of Crossnore Presbyterian Church

Please join us for worship every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in our historic rock sanctuary. We are a very warm and welcoming congregation and delight with each new person who comes through the door. There are no strangers here. We praise God with a mixture of traditional and contemporary hymns and songs. The service is fresh, relevant, and engaging, and leaves one with an inspiring message and mission to take into the week. Coffee Hour in the fellowship hall after worship provides an opportunity for newcomers to get to know some of the members of the church family. For more information, please contact the church office, at 828-733-1939.

If there is inclement weather, we will post the cancellation of in-person worship on the website, Facebook, and the church office phone message. When we are not able to meet in person, Pastor Kathy records her sermon on Zoom and sends it out along with the bulletin and music links.

Praising God Through Worship

Our historic rock sanctuary sets the scene for traditional worship. We are a very warm and welcoming congregation and delight with each new person who comes through the door. There are no strangers here. We praise God with a mixture of traditional and contemporary hymns and songs. The service is fresh, relevant, and engaging, and leaves one with an inspiring message and mission to take into the week. Coffee Fellowship in the fellowship hall after worship provides an opportunity for newcomers to get to know some of the members of the church family. Pastor Kathy invites people to join her for lunch from time to time.

You can enter the sanctuary from the front or the back. The front steps of the church, which are handicap accessible, lead to the front door of the sanctuary. If you would like to come up the back steps, you can walk in the back entrance where the church office is located and take the steps leading up to the back of the sanctuary. There are restrooms in the basement of the church and in the fellowship hall.
