We exist to make disciples of Christ who advance the Kingdom of God in Rockford. _______________ Grassroots was started in 2009 by seven people in a living room who felt God calling them to plant a church in the heart of downtown Rockford. Since then, we’ve been growing steadily by connecting with people of all backgrounds and are now a church of 50-75. Our name came out of Jesus’ teaching that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. It starts really small and grows into something significant, kind of like a grassroots movement.
