Pastor Marx received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies from North Central University. He spent over 20 years pastoring in three Midwestern states before coming to serve as Lead Pastor at Faith Assembly of Grand Detour in 2016.

Pastor Marx and his wife, Michelle, have served side-by-side in ministry since 1990. They have three adult sons. Jon and Michelle have a passion for people to know Jesus Christ, grow in Him and live out that love relationship so that it naturally impacts others for eternity.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Ephesians 3:14-19
