Welcome to the Western North Carolina Association!
We are excited about partnering with you in 2012
We are one of three Associations within the United Church of Christ’s Southern Conference.
The WNCA includes 81 churches in four program districts:
- The Guilford-Randolph District includes Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Richmond, and Rockingham Counties.
- The Davidson-Forsyth District includes Davidson, Forsyth, and Yadkin Counties in North Carolina and Carroll County in Virginia.
- The Rowan District includes Cabarrus, Gaston, Mecklenburg, Monroe, Rowan, and Stanley Counties.
- The Catawba District includes Buncombe, Caldwell, Catawba, Henderson, Iredell, Lincoln, Polk, and Watauga Counties.
The spiritual and community life of individuals and congregations in the Western North Carolina Association is strengthened through the staff and a variety of committees and commissions. In addition, assistance is provided as churches seek professional leadership through the Search and Call Process.
Our Staff
Our Associate Conference Minister (ACM) is Rev. Jerry Rhyne and he is supported by Mrs. “Libby” Parker, the WNCA Administrative Assistant. If you would like to contact either Rev. Rhyne or Libby, they are available at the conference office, or by email (listed below). The 2012 WNCA Board of Directors is led by its president, Mr. Doug Sink.
