Pastor Simpson graduated from Willowridge High School in 1981 and continued his education at Prairie View A&M University where he studied Business Marketing and pledged Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. He accepted his calling to the Gospel Ministry in 1997 at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. Under the leadership and guidance of Pastor Leroy Houston, he served as an Associate Minister for five years. While there, Pastor Simpson attended the College of Biblical Studies. It was there he learned the Principals of Teaching, Expository Preaching, and Biblical Methodology. In 2002, he and his family moved to Pilgrim Journey Baptist Church where he served faithfully as an associate minister for two years. In 2004, Pastor Simpson began his first year as Pastor of Pilgrim Journey Baptist Church. Since his tenure began, the attendance at Sunday morning worship services has increased from 48 to nearly 500 attendees and Bible Study has increased from 25 bi-weekly attendees to 150 weekly attendees.
