Lead Pastor
Austin Martin
An Indiana native, Austin has served in churches across Phoenix, Detroit, and Chicago. He’s passionate about helping people discover God’s work in their lives—no matter where they’ve been or what they’ve done.
Austin also holds strong opinions on baseball, basketball, queso dip, and daylight saving time. When he’s not spending time with his family, he serves as the Lead Pastor at Chaparral Christian Church in Scottsdale, AZ.
He holds a Bachelor’s in Biblical Literature from Ozark Christian College, as well as dual MAs in Church History/Historical Theology and Theology from Lincoln Christian Seminary. Austin is married to Rachel, and together they have three kids—and one pretentious dog.
