During the past decade growth of an encouraging significance has been witnessed in Asheboro. Encompassing the mind, heart, and soul is a spiritual aura which reveals itself in the town and its people. Indicative of this religious interest is the marked increase in churches of the Asheboro area. Throughout the past ten years we have seen the erection of approximately twenty new churches and an even greater number of addi- tions and expansions. By construction of new churches and enlargement of numerous others, Asheboro has provided facilities for a greater representa- tion of its populace in worship centers. lt has afforded them new, modern environs to lend an atmosphere ever conducive to real religious worship. In accordance with its reputation as a center of religious activity, Asheboro has a number of churches representing the following denominations: Bap- tist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Congregational Christian, Holiness, Friends, Episcopal, Evangelical Reform, Lutheran, Seventh Day Ad- ventist, Church of God, and Wesleyan Methodist. Newcomers to Asheboro note with appreciation that the church of their choice is available, attended by a cordial congregation. So one observes that even in the hustle and bustle of a growing city, people pause to exercise the privilege of spiritual freedom. The impatient tempo, the restless pace are momentarily stilled. In gratitude is He worshiped who inspires all growth. A place for quiet meditation and reverent worship.
