Rev. Cyrus "Cy" Dawsey Rogers has been the Minister at Bethesda for five years. During this time, Cy has introduced a contemporary praise service, overseen a building expansion program, and developed an active youth program.

A son of the missionary Rev. Will Rogers, Cy grew up in Brazil and lived for a year in the Amazon. He graduated from The Citadel and earned an engineering degree at Clemson University before entering the seminary at Erskine. A minister for 18 years, he enjoys writing and watching and flying airplanes. Cy is known for his hugs, his ability to bring people together, and his listening.
