ABOUT US
We'd Love
To Have You
Welcome to Skyland United Methodist Church, the church on the hill off Hendersonville Road in South Asheville. Here you will find a congregation intent on living God’s word, loving all who enter our doors, and working to better the surrounding community through missions.
Members of Skyland UMC believe that walking with Christ is more than a phrase; it's a journey we undertake through worship, study, service, giving, and sharing.
Here, we thrive on our motto: Love. Grow. Serve.
We are one community of faith that has a variety of ways to worship. We want our church to be a place where you feel welcome, connected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or looking to grow closer to God, there’s a place for you here. Come ask questions, discover what the Bible is all about, build genuine community, and find meaningful ways to make a difference in the world.
We welcome you to our church home and hope it will become yours.

Meet Our Pastor
Joe Tarpley
Joe has a passion for the Sunday morning worship experience. He is a lover of rich liturgy and has deep affection for sacramental and historical theology. At the same time Joe understands the emerging need for worship that is relevant, and for worship that connects all ages of persons who seek God. Joe has a strong desire to see the community of faith find their place within bible studies/spiritual formation groups, missional engagements, and in ministries that touch the lives of those who find themselves on the margins of society.
