Austin Smith, Worship Director

Austin is a worshipper, husband, father, and actor who hails from the suburbs from Chicago. He began singing at his grandfather’s church at the age of 5, where his father (who is now pastor)  served as minister of music at the time.  Under their leadership, Austin came to understand the power and importance of a life of worship. After high school, he moved to New York to pursue his studies and holds degrees from Columbia University and The Juilliard School. As an actor he has performed both on and Off-Broadway, as well as in TV and Film. While performing has always been a part of his life, Austin believes that his service to the Lord is never a performance but an act of service aimed at leading others to Christ.
