Jovan Marshall

Pastor Jovan “Pastor Jay” Marshall is a dynamic preacher, visionary leader, and shepherd at heart. He is blessed to share life and ministry with his amazing wife, Krysta, and their six beautiful children.

For more than a decade — from the front lines of youth ministry with Youth for Christ to now leading as Lead Pastor of Gethsemane Garden — Pastor Jay has pursued one calling: to make Jesus known.

For the last two years at Gethsemane Garden, his leadership and preaching — bold, relevant, and unapologetically biblical — have helped cultivate a church family passionate about the presence of God and the power of His Word.

Pastor Jay’s life and ministry reflect what he preaches: a deep love for people, an unshakable commitment to family, and an absolute belief in the life-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
