Byron Harvey is our pastor. You can email him directly at byronharvey@gmail.com.
Byron, his wife Karen, and their two youngest children moved to Marietta in fall, 2006 in an effort to “replant” Red Oak, an EFC. Karen works part time for Chick-fil-A doing catering. Brent graduated from high school in 2009, and hopes to enter college this fall. Chiannon is 15, a homeschooled high school freshman. The Harveys’ other son, Anthony, lives in Wilmington, NC, and builds prosthetics. And while we’re at it, the dog’s name is SweetPea.
Byron has been in pastoral ministry for 25 years, the last 20 as senior (or solo, as the case may have been) pastor. He transferred his ordination into the Evangelical Free Church of America in 2002, during his thirteen-year pastorate at an EFC in Mercer, Pennsylvania.
For fun, he likes to watch football (a proud, lifelong fan of the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers), play fantasy football (just don’t ask how he’s done recently), and play tennis and soccer (if his knee holds up). Recently, Byron got involved in community theater as well, and enjoys it very much!
