It's a large pdf and takes a minute to load. Once its loaded if you scroll down to Virginia you will see two entries for Gate City and one for Nickelville (it should be Nickelsville, a nearby town to Gate City) but that isn't a problem. What is of interest is that for all 3 of those churches the same minister is listed. I'm not sure what to make of this? Any ideas?

Back then ministers would often pastor a circuit of churches.
I know of a minister in my wifes family that pastored in Louise Texas. They would travel from town to town in a circuit of small towns in the area. There weren't many pastors in these areas, one would assume, and they were trying to reach people in multiple areas.
