7Eddie Watson grew up on a farm in Clay County Georgia. He graduated from Clay County High school in 1974 and attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College 2 years before returning to partner with his dad to run the family farm where they grew row crops and purebred hogs. Although Eddie joined the church at a young age, he will tell you his life never changed until his real salvation came in his 30's. He enrolled in Southern Baptist School of Biblical Studies where he received a Doctorate in Christian Ministry. After a stint of fill in preaching, revivals, and evangelistic meetings, Eddie helped start 2 churches, one of which he now is pastor. The church is located on his farm in a building that was once where he put his female hogs when they were about to have their babies. He has literally gone from the pigpen to the pulpit!
