I'm currently attending the First United Pentecostal Church of Pana, IL and I'm working on a new website for the church and was looking for some information. Hopefully, I will be able to get the information I'm seeking and would appreciate your help.

The only information I know:
1) Rev. Eva Hunt founded the church (originally Full Gospel Church before it was renamed to its current name) on the southeastern corner of Franklin and Orange Sts. in Pana, IL. She pastored the church from its founding in April 1941 until August 1967 and would move on to found and pastor First Apostolic Church (now Christ Tabernacle) in Herrick from its inception in 1972 until 1977.
2) Rev. Robert Russell III is the present pastor.

The information I don't have:
1) What year Rev. Russell assumed the pastorate of the church in Pana.
2) Who pastored First UPC of Pana in between Rev. Hunt and Rev. Russell (with years, if possible)? (And if you know of any pictures out there of those pastors, that would be great. I already have pictures of the Hunts and the Russells.)

Doesn't the pastor know when he started?

Arlie Mulvaney was between Hunt and Russell.

Never mind. I was able to find that out from the Sunday School director's wife, who maintains the church's Facebook page.

Okay, going back to Bro. Mulvaney:
I only know one piece (maybe two pieces) of information - that he had a burden for alternative education with Apostolic principles and Pana Christian Academy was founded in 1979. I don't know much else about him outside of that, other than the fact that he pastored in Herrick and Farina.
