Brandon Amick
Senior Pastor
I began serving at Pleasant Grove in August of 2025. After 16 years of
living in other contexts around the country, I’m thrilled to be back in the
area I’m from. I grew up Fountain Inn, but I understand what it’s like to
live in places unfamiliar to you. I believe the gospel of Jesus welcomes
strangers to become family and I’m excited to see natives to this area
and people new to the area find a place of life, refuge, and support in the
local church— like family.
My wife, Lindsey and I met at North Greenville University and we have two
girls, Addie and Mira. I love to adventure and enjoy backpacking, camping,
and hiking with family and friends but also trying new foods and local spots.

Anthony McCaleb
Minister of Students and Education Pastor
I have had the privilege of serving at Pleasant Grove since 2006. God called me to ministry at age 17 and gave me a heart to see students accept Jesus as Savior and learn their greatest opportunity to experience joy and peace in life is to let God have control of them. God brought my wife, Michelle, and I together in college and has blessed us with two boys, David and Joshua. I love soft serve ice cream, DIY projects, Tennessee football, music, designing stuff and most of all spending time with my family. God has been so good to me and I am truly thankful for His love and grace that He gives me daily!
Gary Cox
Worship Pastor
I started serving at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in July 2011. My desire is to lift Jesus up by leading our congregation to a deeper, more meaningful time of worship. I married my wife, Debbie, in June 1981. We have been married for 41 years! We have two sons and four grandchildren! Daniel and Garland - their children are Sullivan and Austin. David and Katie - their children are Luke and Emily. Our favorite thing to do is to spend time with our kids, their spouses, and our grandchildren!
