Looking for a safe place to experience God and ask questions of faith and doubt? The folks who founded Ecclesia back in 2004 were too. Our goal is to follow Christ's example and we believe that means we must be

• guided by the Holy Spirit and committed to live by faith in Christ Jesus, God's only son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
• dedicated to the study, teaching, and proclamation of God's Holy Word, the Bible.
• known by our love--in word and deed--for all humanity.
• a voice of hope to all who seek a relationship with God.

We invite you to join us. Come follow Christ with us as we try to respond to his command to seek the Kingdom of God, on earth as it is in heaven.

Meet our Pastor

May 2020--Rev. Dr. Aileen Mitchell Lawrimore

Aileen Mitchell Lawrimore, Pastor

Pastor Aileen has been with Ecclesia since August 2018 when she joined the staff as interim pastor. Two months later, the church voted to remove interim from her title, making her Ecclesia's third pastor since its founding in 2004.

In December 2020, Aileen completed her Doctorate of Ministry at Gardner Webb University, School of Divinity, Boiling Springs, NC. She was ordained to the gospel ministry 10 years earlier by First Baptist Church of Asheville, NC. 

Aileen and husband Jay married in 1987 and have lived in the Asheville area since 1998. Their family includes daughter Trellace (New York City), son Baker and his wife Addison (Greensboro, NC), daughter Margaret (Raleigh, NC), and two beagles: Isabella and Georgia Peach.

Aileen enjoys reading, writing, and playing banagrams, or any other board game. She blogs regularly at ​http://aileengoeson.com
