Parking Lots Available on Sundays
We know that parking in downtown Asheville can be a bit challenging at times, here are some parking options for when parking is tight.
The Dhrummor Lot, 26 Patton Ave. and #3 on our map, at the corner of Patton Ave. and Lexington Ave., is free parking to FPCA church members and visitors, from 7:00 am – 1:00 pm.
The First Bank Lot, 41 Patton Ave., Lot #4 on our map, right beside the Dhrummor Lot, will remain free parking. This lot is managed by Car Park, the company that manages our lower level lot at the church.
In addition, for the First Bank Lot located on Commerce St., Lot #5 on the church’s map, please note that free parking is now only in the upper level. The lower level is now paid parking and is not free to the church.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Liz Thurston, our Church Administrator.
Parking & Accessibility at FPCA
Parking for visitors on Sunday morning and throughout the week is available in the upper parking deck, accessed from the lot entrance on Aston Street.
Other parking, as well as handicapped-accessible parking; is available in the lower lot, also accessed from the lot entrance on Aston Street.
During the week, parking in the lower lot is open to the public for a fee, and available at no charge to FPCA members who display a parking decal.
As a downtown church, easily accessible parking is limited. There is some adjacent street parking. We are also blessed to be across the street from the Biltmore Avenue Public Parking Garage located under the Aloft Hotel, which almost always has available space, especially on Sunday morning. The cost of parking at the garage is free if you leave within the first hour, otherwise it’s $2 for the first hour, plus $2 for each additional hour or partial hour.
Which Door Should I Use?
The main entrance to the church is the Wallace Foyer entrance off of Aston Street, with first-time visitor parking in the upper parking deck.
You can also enter the church from the Lower Parking Lot Entrance, and take the elevator or stairs to the Ground level.
The Wallace Foyer entrance is also the weekday entrance for meetings or events. The door is usually locked on weekdays for security purposes, however there is a bell on the door if you need access to the building.
On Sunday mornings you can also enter from the Memorial Garden door on Church Street, or the Church Street doors leading into the sanctuary or chapel.
