Ashley Simcox 

Worship Leader

Hi, I am Ashley

I grew up in Bristol, Tennessee, where my love for faith, community, and music began. I attended East Tennessee State University and now teach third grade, a role that allows me to encourage, support, and invest in others every day.

While teaching is something I truly love, my first love has always been leading worship. Music has long been the way I connect most deeply with God, and I count it a privilege to help create spaces where people can encounter Him through song. My heart is simply to point others to Jesus and remind them that they are seen, known, and deeply loved.
 
Outside of the classroom and church, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, and continuing to grow both creatively and spiritually.
