Lead Pastors
Pastors Danny and Brandy Pace
Pastors Danny and Brandy Pace have been deeply rooted in the La Porte community for decades. With five children who have grown up serving alongside them, their ministry has always been a family mission. It is a life marked by sacrifice, passion, and a steadfast commitment to the call of God.
Danny’s journey began in the National Guard, where he served as a Chaplain Assistant, ministering to soldiers and their families during some of life’s most critical moments. That experience, paired with his biblical training from Indiana Wesleyan University, laid the foundation for a life devoted to pastoral leadership. Over the years, Danny and Brandy have served in a variety of roles, from youth ministry to associate pastors, investing in students, equipping families, and strengthening the local church.
Their time at Faith Fellowship has been more than ministry. It has been a calling lived out in real time. They have preached, counseled, mentored, and walked with people through both triumph and tragedy. Their love for the church is not theoretical. It is tested, proven, and rooted in relationship.
They carry a deep burden for the lost, the broken, and the forgotten. Their vision is bold and clear. They want to see lives radically changed by the power and presence of God. They long to see a hunger for revival rise up in La Porte and believe that restoration is possible for every family and every individual. Their ministry is not confined to the walls of a building. It reaches into the streets, the homes, and the hearts of the community. And through it all, they remain committed to lifting high the name of Jesus in every season.
Youth Leaders
Brian & Tara Ketcham
Brian and Tara Ketcham relocated to LaPorte, Indiana from Greenville, South Carolina over two years ago. Together, they are raising two wonderful children and are deeply committed to serving the next generation. With a shared passion for youth ministry, their mission is to help young people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, develop lasting friendships, and walk confidently in their faith.
Through consistent weekly youth gatherings and dynamic events, Brian and Tara strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where students feel known, valued, and encouraged. Their personal testimonies and spiritual journeys give them a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today’s youth.
They consider it a true honor to mentor and walk alongside young people, equipping them to discover their God-given purpose and to live lives rooted in faith, hope, and love.
