As a leader who understands the power of submission, in 1990 Archbishop Rochford joined the Pilgrim Assemblies International, Inc. under the leadership of Archbishop Roy E. Brown. In 1994, he was consecrated and elevated to the episcopacy. In 2012, after 22 years of service in the Assemblies including 17 years as the First Assistant to the Presiding Bishop, the Lord released Archbishop Rochford to establish the Dunamis Covenant Connection, an organization through which he provides Apostolic oversight to pastors and churches. He was installed as the Chief Prelate of Dunamis in 2013. On July 8, 2016, he was officially elevated to the archbishopric.

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.
