Honoring The Past

After the completion of the Civil War, an ever-growing congregation gathered and began charting a course that would take God's word into the 20th century, this became Byron Center UMC. This congregation has over the years expanded its facilities to meet the ever-growing ministry needs of our church family and local community.
