From our Worship Minister

Hey Crosspoint! My name is Simone Headd, and I’m honored to be your new Worship Minister. I’m originally from Detroit, MI, and grew up in a blended family. Much of my time was spent in a Black Baptist church on the east side of the city, where I started singing in the choir at the age of three. In true teenage rebel fashion, I started to resent the choir at 14, and eventually quit music altogether.

When I went off to college, God captivated my heart in the way only He can. I went from being a mere theist to falling deeply in love with Jesus. In the middle of the New England woods, in a poorly set-up tent, I rededicated my life to God while reading the Gospel of Mark. The only reason I started singing “church music” again was because I realized that God loves it, and He is worthy of receiving whatever He loves. From there, I became intrigued by how worshiping through song can transform a heart, and soon after, I felt called to be a worship leader.

I attended the University of Michigan with hopes of being on Broadway, but once I invited God to give me new desires, my life changed completely. I graduated with a BFA in Theatre Performance, a minor in Creative Writing, and a burning passion for the last, the least, and the lost to experience the living God. Following His direction, I moved to the metro Atlanta area for the residency program at 12Stone Church. That experience led me here to Crosspoint, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of this community. I’m excited to meet all of you and ‘sing a new song’ together!
