Jason Crandall

Vision and Teaching Pastor

Jason is passionate about teaching the Gospel so it applies to every day life and to see it multiply into disciples and churches.  This passion led him to start CityView Church in February of 2014, an intentionally multiplying church.

Dariel Berry

Technical Arts Pastor

Dariel and his family began attending CityView in February 2014 and were there for its official start that same month. He has a passion for teaching so that people grow in their relationship with God. He also has a passion for worship. Even though he will never be asked to be a part of the worship team, he serves as a member of the audio/visual team as Service Director.

Dariel has a degree in Accounting. In 2022, he transitioned from that field to information technology. In his spare time he enjoys reading and traveling with his family.

Dariel is married to Julie and they have three sons. Julie is a member of the worship team as keyboard player. Two of their sons also volunteer on the audio/visual team

Jaime Rios

Connections Pastor

Jaime Rios is a native Houstonian who gave his life to Jesus at 14. After seeing the impact that a youth pastor had on the people around him, Jaime accepted a calling into ministry and has seen God use him in the lives of young people ever since.

Jaime began learning the ropes of ministry at First Baptist Pearland, where he met and served with Jason Crandall, and was privileged to serve the FBC students for over 9 years. He graduated with a BS of Christian Leadership from the College of Biblical Studies, and is ecstatic to be a part of CityView’s church family. Jaime’s vision is to see the young believers of CityView grow into a passionate force for the gospel.

Jaime is a fierce defender of all Houston sports franchises, with a brief fandom roadtrip giving his college football allegiance to the Texas Longhorns. He is passionate about good worship music, running, and out-dressing the rest of the staff. He loves sharing his life with his wife Megan, twin daughters Maisy and Payton, and baby boy Jacob.

David Morton

Spiritual Formation Pastor

David has been part of CityView since the 2nd week, so he can never call himself an “original member” of CityView. He has a passion for seeing people grow in depth, and for helping people encounter God to walk with Him daily in the ordinary things. If you see him talk, he’ll probably mention Dallas Willard at least once.

In his spare time, he likes to read, go walking, listen to music, go camping with his family, and go out to eat with his wife, Jennifer. He’s a proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie class of 2001, where he has a degree in Psychology. He currently works as a Machine Learning Engineer.

He is married to Jennifer and they have two sons: Jakob and Liam, and are the proud owner of their beautiful dog, Ada. A cat also lives with them, but we don’t talk about the cat.
