Pastors Everett and JoAnn Bross lead Breakthrough Church. Everett is a third-generation pastor. Born and raised in Rockford, Illinois, they have been married for over 40 years and, together with their children, own and operate several local businesses.
Their heart is simple: to see people everywhere encounter God, grow in relationship with Him, and walk in the breakthrough He has for their lives.
From Pastor Everett
“Church is 90 minutes on Sunday. The other 167 hours are where faith is actually built — or quietly lost.”
Pastor Everett's short, common-sense field guide for believers who are tired of going through the motions: a handful of practices simple enough to start tomorrow, but deep enough to change the shape of a life. With a foreword by his father, Pastor David L. Bross Sr.

Our Vision
Our vision is to create a platform and a space where you can form a real relationship with God — whether you join us in person in Rockford or online from anywhere in the world.
Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM for worship and preaching, and Tuesdays at 6:30 PM for prayer, at 415 N Church St in downtown Rockford.
Can't make it in person? Every service streams live on YouTube, and messages are available on demand.
We grow in relationship with God and with each other — there's a seat at the table for you.
We'd love to meet you this week — or send us a message anytime.
