Located on the Catholic Hill in Asheville is the Cappadocia Fire-Baptized Holiness Church. The FBH church was founded in 1896. It was built on the tenets of three acts of grace: the New Birth, baptism of fire, and baptism with the Holy Ghost.
The Asheville FBH congregation was formed in 1906. By 1908, they built their first church. The current structure was constructed in 1926. The church is one of the oldest extant buildings in the historic Black neighborhood of East End. Unfortunately, the church dissolved a few years ago due to dwindling membership. It sat abandoned for a few years. It was slated for demolition, but the Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County purchased it.
