Pastoral staff
Scott Austin
Senior Pastor
scott@artisanchurch.com
Scott is one of Artisan’s founding pastors and has been known to say he couldn’t imagine being a pastor anywhere else. He graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in 1999 with a degree in contemporary ministries and music and earned his Master of Divinity degree from Northeastern Seminary in 2005. He is dedicated to loving and serving all people, with a particular interest in caring for those who have been marginalized and treated as outsiders in religious communities.
In his free time, Scott plays volleyball at Hot Shots and is active in the Rochester music scene. His greatest joy in life is his family: his wife Tracey, and their two sons.
