For many years, he served on the music staff of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida. He and his wife, Mitzi, were blessed with twin daughters in 1998, and they returned to Tennessee where Marty worked as a free-lance musical arranger with several Christian music publishers in Nashville. During this time, he also served area churches as interim minister of music. In 2011, Marty felt God calling him, once again, to full-time church ministry. He currently serves as the minister of music at First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Virginia.
