John Byrum

John and his wife Denys have been in Winston Salem since 1998 and attending TCF since soon after it was planted.

Liberty University is his alma mater — he earned a degree in Communication Studies in 1996 and met his wife there his Junior year.

John and Denys have two daughters, Lauren and Rachel.

Speaking in the main service, teaching the youth and Sunday School on occasion and getting together with different men for lunch are several things John enjoys in his effort to be part of effective ministry at TCF.

John enjoys golf, surfing, racquet sports, eating fruit and cookies but absolutely hates cheese!

He works for a large national bank in sales and serves in public office as Mayor in the Town of Midway nearby.

His favorite quote is from Jim Elliot:

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose”.

John was born again at age 7 when he prayed to receive Jesus Christ as his Savior in the company of his dad while at home in Fort Worth, Texas.
