Biographical / Historical
Swannanoa Valley Preparative Meeting began under the care of Asheville Monthly Meeting (part of Southern Appalachian Yearly Meetnig and Associtaion) in September 1996. It traces its history to 1994 as a mid-week worship group, shifting to a First Day worship group in early 1996, and it was set off as a monthly meeting in 1997.
Swannanoa Valley Monthly Meeting left SAYMA at the end of 2021 after a year of concern over management and budgeting for SAYMA's Uplifting Racial Justice Committee. The meeting is active and independent.
