Senior Pastor, New Life Cathedral
Chief Prelate, Dunamis Covenant Connection
ARCHBISHOP ROBERT JOEL ROCHFORD SR.


Archbishop Robert Joel Rochford Sr. is a native of Brooklyn, New York. Handpicked by God from amongst a family of great ministry gifts, he accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 14 and began preaching the Gospel at just 15 years old. As a visionary, pastor, preacher, musician and author, Archbishop Rochford has dedicated more than half of his life to fulfilling God’s will and is a living testimony of the power of God at work in the life of His beloved. |
Even with immense ministry responsibilities, Archbishop Rochford is dedicated to his family. His experience as a husband and father coupled with his passion for ministering to families was the source of inspiration for his first book Bone of My Bone, Flesh of My Flesh, a relationship manual emphasizing the importance of marriage. He lovingly adored and cherished his wife Senior Executive Pastor Lois Elaine Rochford for 34 years until she was called to glory. On August 10, 2017 Archbishop Rochford was given a second chance at love and was blessed to be joined in marriage with Elect Lady Pamela Rochford. He is the father of two adult children, Pastor Melaine Rochford and Minister Robert Rochford II. |
