The Byrneville Mennonite Church in Century, Florida, USA, began as a Summer Bible School outreach by the Pleasant Grove Mennonite Church of Brewton, Alabama, located across the state line.

Mahlon and Ruth Glick moved from Pennsylvania in 1954 to provide leadership to a new Sunday school and home Bible study.

The Lancaster Mennonite Conference built a new worship center that was dedicated on 16 February 1957.

In 2000, the Lancaster Mennonite Conference "released" the 14 churches it had established in the southeast United States to form a new network called Good News Fellowship (GNF). Byrneville Mennonite became part of this new fellowship.

By 2023, Byrneville Mennonite was no longer listed as a member of Good News Fellowship.
