LEADERSHIP
To Pastor Mike and Gail:
Thank you for 20+ years of pastoral leadership, for your love and self-sacrifice, and for your faithfulness to City View First Baptist Church. You are missed.
May the LORD bless you and keep you; may His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; may He show you His favor and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
Happy Retirement!
Rev. Mike Bearden
Interim Pastor
We are so pleased to announce that Rev. Mike Bearden is now serving as our Interim Pastor after the retirement of Dr. Mike Runion.
Rev. Bearden served as the Senior Pastor of Fountain Inn First Baptist Church for 26 years before retiring in 2012. Since his retirement, he has been busy helping other churches, such as ours, as they search for and transition to new Senior Pastors. We have already been blessed by his preaching the Word, and his leading with experience, wisdom, and knowledge.

Rev. Derick PindrohMinister of Music
The Bible says, “make a joyful sound to the Lord.” If you have any musical talent and would like to be part of our adult Celebration Choir, our Worship Praise Team, or our worship band, you’re invited to come and worship the Lord in song.
After serving churches in South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas over the past 30 years, I have returned home to serve as the Minister of Music at City View. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Religion from Charleston Southern University and was a former lead singer for The Tidesmen, based in Travelers Rest. My wife, Missie, and I have four married, adult children and are proud to have three amazing grandchildren.
Dr. Jaime Cortez
Hispanic Pastor
As the Hispanic Pastor at Cityview First Baptist Church, I am committed to sharing the Gospel, discipling believers, and fostering a Christ-centered community. With a passion for biblical teaching and pastoral care, I aim to lead the Hispanic congregation in worship, spiritual growth, and outreach initiatives that impact the local community through preaching, counseling, and community outreach. Through this ministry, we seek to encourage and strengthen the Hispanic community in their walk with Christ. At Cityview First Baptist Church, our goal is to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel.
“Nuestro propósito es glorificar a Dios, crecer en Su Palabra y extender Su amor a todos.”
Grace & Peace,
Jaime Cortez
