Continue the Legacy: The Annual Pastor Ketchens College Scholarship Fund

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." Guided by this wisdom, Pastor Ketchens dedicated his life to empowering others through teaching practical skills. His lessons extended beyond the basics of trades like painting or lawn care; he instilled a spirit of self-sufficiency and community leadership in all his teachings. Pastor Ketchens was more than a community leader; he was a mentor who never treated anyone as a stranger, only as a future friend, and he was deeply committed to seeing every individual thrive.

In memory of Pastor Ketchens' unwavering commitment and service, we proudly uphold his legacy through the Annual Pastor Ketchens College Scholarship Fund. These scholarships, valued between $500 and $1,500, support students who are preparing for or currently attending college, encouraging them to pursue their academic and life goals with the same fervor Pastor Ketchens encouraged in his community.

As scripture says, "The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher." (Luke 6:40). This message resonates through our mission to empower students in their educational journeys.
