Jon Cox
Worship Leader/Oasis Leader

Jon Cox grew up in a Christian family and although he grew up with parents that loved God, and taught him to follow him, he secretly rejected God. This led him into a dark season of life where he struggled with depression, self-harm, and suicidal thinking.
That is when he called upon the Lord at 13 years old, and was set free in Christ! Serving in the worship ministry of his youth group, club, and church, he felt the call to ministry and attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. After graduating with a Bachelors in Biblical Studies in 2014, Jon joined Decision Point and is serving full-time as the Illinois and Midwest Director since 2015. Jon is married to Kassandra and has two sons Judah and Ezekiel.
“I am excited to serve as the worship leader because worship ministry is a passion of mine, and to invite the church to encounter the presence of our living God!”
