BAMA is the Byron Area Ministerial Association. It is composed of the pastors and ministry leaders of our Byron Township churches.
This year our monthly meetings will be focused on encouraging each other in this daily reading campaign. There is also a group of us who meets weekly to pray for revival, our pastors and ministries, our community leaders, and any known needs of our community.
