Billy Rosano

Billy Rosano serves as the senior pastor of Grace Bible Church in Brandon, Florida. Billy graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary and has pastored in Delaware for over 9 years prior to coming to serve GBC in 2014. 

Billy came to faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 21. Originally from Maryland, he joined the Air Force, met Traci, and by God’s grace was able to convince her to marry him. They have five delightful children, have welcomed one son-in-law and now have one very special grandchild. His growing family continues to fill his life with joy and his heart with thankfulness for God’s mercy and generosity. While in the Air Force, Billy recognized God’s call to full-time ministry. His vision is driven by a desire to worship God, preach the gospel, and lead the beloved saints at Grace Bible Church to walk as disciples of Jesus Christ in every area of life. His highest aspiration is that the earth would be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the seas (Hab. 2:14). 

Over the years, Billy taught history at Wilmington University and also taught a Community Greek class. He is very grateful for the English Puritans’ example of wisdom and conscientious devotion to the Triune God in all things, enjoys manual labor and reading widely, shares Virgil’s love for the countryside, and thinks every young man should be well acquainted with J.C. Ryle and Louis L’Amour.
