Tim Simpson
Lead Pastor For over 20 years, I have been pouring my life into making disciples who make disciples through the local church. I joined the staff of Crosspoint in July 2020. My wife, Shelley, and I have 3 sons, Ethan, Gideon, and Corban. Before coming to Crosspoint, we were living in East Asia for 3 years. Prior to that, I was the College Pastor at First Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for 17 years. Shelley and I are graduates of the University of Alabama. I also have a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports with my family and having good conversations over good food with a glass of sweet tea. |

Worship Pastor Worship music has been a part of my life and ministry in the local church, across the United States and internationally. Originally from Alaska, my parents taught me the value of being involved in ministry through the local church and in mission opportunities. This heritage has helped define the direction of where God has sent me through the years. My passion for leading and ministering to the local church has never altered and why I continue to serve where God leads. I am fortunate to have a wife, Jill, who has loved me and supported the direction that the Lord has led us. I am excited to serve and minister with the people of Crosspoint during this significant time in the life of the church. I look forward, with anticipation, experiencing HIM as we worship together! |

Student Pastor Sumter has been home for my entire life, and God called me into student ministry in 2017. I have had the privilege to serve here at Crosspoint since September of 2019. I seek to serve God and grow His kingdom by leading students here at Crosspoint, with the goal of glorifying God as often as we can. I am married to my wife, Carly, who is also plugged in to our student ministry here. I love video games, tennis, the USC Gamecocks, but more importantly, serving the young people here at Crosspoint! |

KIDZpoint Director
The Air Force brought Justin, my husband, and I to Sumter in 2015. Since then we have been blessed with a son and daughter. Crosspoint has been a wonderful extension to our family. I completed my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education in 2018, and I began as our Children's Ministry Director in 2019. God placed on my heart a desire to teach, instruct, love and guide the lives of our younger generation through the knowledge and grace of the Gospel. We are grateful to be a part of the KIDZpoint ministry team and to share God’s love to the children and families of Crosspoint. In my spare time, I love to fellowship with our ladies of Crosspoint, crafting, cooking and spending time with my family - especially outside on a beautiful day!

Setup & Maintenance Originally from Monticello, GA, I moved to Sumter in 2002 after I felt the Lord telling me to move. With no idea of where to find a job, I received a call from Alice Drive Baptist Church to fill in on weekends and it soon became a full time job doing maintenance and setup. Shortly after, I met my wife Julie and we were married. In 2009, I began working part-time at Crosspoint doing the same job. When we get a break, Julie and I enjoy traveling, watching NASCAR or catching a baseball game. |
