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.
