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? |
Goes back to the days of circuit preachers. Churches would not have a pastor so a circuit preacher would go from church to church to preach
