Celebrating | Epiphany Sunday
We are delighted to welcome back Austin Maynor, a former MPBC intern, to preach from the Free Pulpit this Sunday.
Now a licensed preacher in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina, Austin brings a rich background in theology, the arts, and the Free Church tradition. He currently offers ecumenical pulpit supply and lives in Asheville with his partner, Justin Upright.
Come join us as we celebrate the light of Christ revealed that shines in the darkness — and the glory that still lingers.
