Welcome!

Welcome to Altavista Presbyterian Church!

We are happy that you have chosen to visit our website today.   Take some time and explore a bit to learn about the church and how we can help you experience God's grace and peace in ever increasing ways!

And, as a congregation, we stand ready to help you in your own spiritual journey.  We've not yet arrived, ourselves (far from it, in fact!), but we're making progress.  And we'd love to have another person join us on the journey.

 
Our Church History
Altavista Presbyterian Church, established in 1910 by a commission of the Montgomery Presbytery, held its first services in what was then the new Methodist church, now St. Peter's Episcopal church. By 1913, the church had 21 members. It moved to the Baptist church and, in 1922, to Liberty Theater on lower Broad Street. The town's plans had called for a church on each corner of the block bound by Broad, Bedford, 10th and 11th Streets, but in 1925 the Presbyterians built a church below the Southern Railroad on a lot donated by R.L. Cummock.
