Pastor Byron accepted his call into ministry in April of 1984. He began with itinerant work conducting revivals and children's crusades for churches across South Carolina. It was shortly after this that he met Cindy Knight, the love of his life and whom he calls his "Angel" sent from God. They were married in June of 1986 and moved to Alabama to minister as the State Youth Director of the Churches of God of Prophecy.
Byron pursued his education with an emphasis in Biblical Studies and Counseling. He graduated Tomlinson College (Cleveland, TN) with a B.A. in Ministry and The Church of God Theological Seminary (Cleveland, TN) with a M.A.C.M. in Counseling. He also studied at Western Seminary (conservative baptist) in Portland, OR.
Byron had served as Pastor of four other churches before being named Lead Pastor at The Bridge in November 2018. He has also served other ministry roles and worked as a mental health counselor and a college career counselor.
Byron and Cindy have two children. Zach, their oldest son, is married to Sarah and they currently reside in Cary, NC. Zeke, their youngest son, lives in Greer, SC.
