History of First Baptist Church of Pine Castle, Florida

I'm helping my great-aunt Carol and the rest of the history committee over at FBCPC to compile a book to be released next year to coincide with the opening of their new sanctuary.

So far, they've gathered quite a bit of odds and ends. This morning, they handed it off to me over breakfast at Carol's Place and asked me to go thru it and make additions, corrections, suggestions, etc.

I'm thinking the biggest thing they need to do is organize the material, and am going to suggest they group everything by pastorate. In that vein, I compiled the following list of all the church's pastors, and thought I'd share it with ye socks. Let me know if you can share any additional information about these guys, especially as relates to their time in Pine Castle:
