Former members[1]


On February 11, 2024, Austin Stone announced it had fired its worship pastor, Aaron Ivey on February 5, “stating that he showcased a 'pattern of predatory manipulation, sexual exploitation, and abuse of influence,' including with a minor in 2011 and with three men since then.”[12] As a result, they have removed most of their music resources of their worship albums that they have released on streaming platforms.
