I live in Myrtle Beach, SC, and it's a place I hold dear. My family is a cherished treasure. My wife, Alli, is the one person in the world with whom I never tire of spending time. Benjamin, my son, radiates with life and energy, while Leighton, my daughter, holds a special place in my heart. Every night, our family echoes Psalm 3:8 together, “Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people!” This verse serves as both a reminder and a prayer, reaffirming our reliance on God as our hope and faithful guide.

I'm privileged to serve as one of the pastors at Palmetto Shores Church. My father, Ronny Byrd, planted Palmetto Shores over 15 years ago, and working in ministry alongside him is one of the greatest blessings of my life. Ever since God transformed my heart through His good news, my passion has been to make disciples of Jesus who, too, are transformed by this same good news. My life vision is to worship the Triune God in every facet of life as a response to the gospel and to guide others to do the same. Fueled by God’s grace, I am compelled to live for His glory, finding joy in inviting others into His grace and glory with me.
