Our Leadership

If you would like to get involved with the church, are in need of assistance, would like a word of prayer, or simply wish to know more about us, please feel free to contact the church office and ask for any of the fine folks below.

The Session is the governing body of the church. They ensure the regular Lord's Day worship on Sunday and oversee the general business of the congregation.

Church Secretary

A church secretary truly is the glue that holds the church together. Our secretary is Carolyn Doss. Carolyn was raised on a large farm in Vernon Hill, VA. She comes from a large family of five brothers and six sisters. After graduating from Gretna High School she married her husband, Lynnie. They have one daughter, Jessica and one grandson, Grayson. Carolyn was employed at Ennis Business for twelve years until her daughter was born. She has been employed at Altavista Presbyterian since April 12, 1996. She is a member of Hyland Heights Baptist Church where she is very involved in various ministries.

Carolyn enjoys hiking, gardening, camping, crafting, and watching her grandson grow.
