Dr. Rokser came to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior at the age of 18 through the faithful witness of some friends. Upon later attending Beacon Bible Church in Aurora, Minnesota, he was spiritually fed and grounded in the Word of God through the expository, grace-oriented bible-teaching of Pastor Leonard A. Radtke. Dennis was further prepared for the ministry by attending Appalachian Bible College in Bradley, West Virginia, along with graduate studies from Tyndale Theological Seminary.

  Dr. Rokser pastored Duluth Bible Church in Duluth, MN beginning in 1985 until he moved to middle Georgia in August of 2022 where he recently retired from being a full-time pastor.

  In 1992, he founded the Grace Institute of Biblical Studies (GIBS) which is designed to provide specific teaching and training within the local church for believers who want to be prepared for specialized ministry like the pastorate, youth ministry, missions, etc.

  In 2000, Dr. Rokser began the Grace Training International Bible Institutes to bring pastoral and teacher training to national pastors and teachers free-of-charge. This ministry is presently serving in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Kenya, Zambia, The Gambia, etc.

  In 2012, he co-founded Grace Gospel Press, which is now part of True Grace Books, to provide another means of publishing and obtaining grace-oriented, doctrinally sound written materials. Dennis has written many books and booklets, such as “Shall Never Perish Forever”, “I’m Saved! Now What?”, “Salvation in Three Time Zones”, “Should Christians Fear Outer Darkness?”, “How to Interpret 1 John, Faith & Works – A Clarification of James 2”, “Principles on Preaching”, etc. In addition, Dennis can be heard twice a day on Grace Global Radio with his program, Grace for the Race, or his 1000-plus biblical messages can be watched on YouTube or heard on SermonAudio.
