Because Only Together We Can
Build a World Where All Are Saved, Strong & Valued
Welcome to
Bethel Baptist Church of Rockford
Bethel Baptist Church is composed of many ministries, and one of these may provide the opportunity for you to share your God-given talents. We strive to have an every member ministry. No single ministry can fulfill all the church’s goals; therefore, cooperation and dependency are important in this effort.
We welcome you to Bethel Baptist Church of Rockford.

You’ve Found Us!
Welcome to the Bethel M. B. Church of Rockford, IL official website! We are located at 724 Harrison Ave. where the Rev. Kerry L. Newburn is our Senior Pastor. You are always welcome to join us in person or on our site.
We are:
- a church where God has given us His peace, grace, and love.
- a church where God’s love is shared with all people saved and unsaved.
- a church where Jesus the Christ is our Lord and Savior, Priest, and King.
Jesus says to us in Matt 11:28-30, 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” He’s waiting on you!
We welcome you with much love to be a part of the Bethel experience as we praise and worship God together. See you soon!
