Eddy Ketchersid Award
Why We Honor Eddy Ketchersid
Eddy Ketchersid has served just two churches over a ministry career that spans 47 years: a 28-year ministry with one congregation in the city of South Houston and now, a 19-year ministry with the Farmers Branch Church of Christ in metropolitan Dallas. Such lengthy and effective pastorates are not possible without authentic skill in connecting with people.
In both South Houston and Farmers Branch, Eddy has been a pillar in the Chambers of Commerce. He has served in various capacities on the executive boards of the Chambers, always active in the ambassadors groups. City administrators in both South Houston and Farmers Branch have come to depend on him for trustworthy service and competent leadership for those civic projects that require the cooperation of multiple sectors of the community. His relational skills have often been tapped to bring the community together. He has been recognized “Citizen of the Year” in both cities.
