Pastor Steve Rost is an experienced leader in the body of Christ with over 35 years of ministry experience. Before starting Revival City Church, Steve helped grow Living Word Church in Arizona from a brand new church plant to a megachurch of 7000+ members as one of the Elders/Founders. Steve has led in a variety of ministries: Youth, Men’s Ministry, Adult Ministries, Homegroups, as well as teaching at Living Word’s Bible college. He also served under Chuck Pierce (Glory of Zion) and 4 other churches as an Elder, and received trainings under John Paul Jackson, conferences at Bethel Church (Redding, CA), and Andrew Wommack Ministers Conference in Woodland Park, Colorado.

Growing up in the Baptist Church, Steve learned a solid foundation for the scriptures but hungered for more connection and the personal realness of Jesus. In 1980, he found this as he experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and never looked back in his pursuit for God. Later when he was healed at a conference he attended, he developed a passion to see other people meet Jesus as a healer.

As well as serving in the church world, Steve achieved a Bachelor’s degree in Science/Biology from Southern Oregon University and rose to the top of the pharmaceutical industry, where he was the manager in his company over the whole Southwestern United States. He retired from his job in the pharmaceutical world in order to dedicate himself to full time ministry.

Steve’s passions are being a spiritual father, advancing the kingdom of God in His presence with Heaven on Earth, seeing God invade the political world, and being faithful to God at all costs and in all situations. Steve & Joanne have been married OVER 40 years and have 3 grown children serving the Lord: Shaun, Jerod, and Elizabeth, receiving calls in full time Christian ministry.

Pastor JoAnne Rost, is a powerful woman of God and spiritual mother with many years of ministry experience. Pursuing God’s love & presence she is like a “Heidi Baker”, a mother of mothers. JoAnne is also a true spiritual pioneer building many ministries from the ground up.  She views her greatest accomplishment in life as raising three children who all are serving the Lord in full time ministry. JoAnne’s burning desire is to say Yes and obey God at any cost and at any price, no matter what. She lives her life for others and to see heaven invade Earth. 

In the past she has served as an elder in Chuck Pierce’s church, Glory of Zion, and traveled with Chuck Pierce. She personally launched and led large children’s and women’s ministries (200-700 people) and is a seasoned counselor in the body of Christ. JoAnne completed her BA in Psychology at Southern Oregon University.

After being trained in Biblical Dream Interpretation under John Paul Jackson, she traveled with Barbie Breathitt (and serving on her board of Directors), as well as personally leading dream interpretation evangelism teams on three campuses of North Central Texas College for 5 years, where numerous students received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Before giving herself to full time ministry, JoAnne also competed in the Horse world - doing jumping events through Hunt Club, showing Quarter Horses with a professional trainer and barrel racing. She's also raised prize winning show dogs. She is somewhat of a thrill seeker, (used to 4 Wheel) and loves skydiving.

JoAnne’s vision is the maturing of the Church body for the work of the ministry and to advance God’s kingdom here on Earth along with releasing Revival Fire to the world!
