Brookstone Baptist Church, formerly North Asheville Baptist Church, has been a testimony to God’s faithfulness since its founding in 1910. Originally meeting on Forsythe Street as a satellite of First Baptist Church of Asheville, the congregation steadily grew and expanded its Gospel influence. As the church increased in membership, it relocated several times, including a move in 1972 to a new facility near I-26 and UNC-Asheville and later to Reynolds Mountain Boulevard in 1995, continuing to grow in ministry and community impact.

In 2017, after more than a century of ministry, the church became Brookstone Baptist Church and opened a new 100-acre campus in Weaverville. This campus includes worship and conference spaces, classrooms, counseling areas, a student center, and community spaces designed to serve families and reach people with the message of Christ. The church has continued to expand its outreach through ministries such as Reynolds Mountain Christian Academy and ongoing investments in the next generation.

Committed to reaching Buncombe County and beyond, Brookstone has launched multiple satellite campuses, including East Asheville in 2022, Enka in 2024, and Burnsville in 2025. Through these locations and its growing ministries, the church seeks to equip people of all ages to live intentionally for Christ and share God’s love throughout the region.
