Indiana Martin

Indiana (Indy) Martin considers himself blessed to be a part of the staff and family of StarStone! He and his wife, Cassie, were married in July of 2010, but they have a love story that started with them dating at the age of 14!

Indy has served in worship leadership roles since his youth, but professionally since 2008. Indy has had a lifelong love of music, and specifically church music, participating in choirs, bands, and worship teams since he was a young child. Indy has a degree in Design Management from Arizona State University and loves using his design and art skills to provide leadership over all of arts and communications to make worship experiences meaningful and cohesive.
Indy has a passion for connecting people in Christian community and for leading worship — he believes, and teaches, that worship is a posture we should live life from, not merely an hour-long activity. He looks forward to connecting with you!
