The unfolding narrative surrounding Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach and its pastor, John-Paul Miller, has captured international attention, revealing a complex web of accusations and investigations following the tragic death of Mica Miller. This in-depth look delves into the evolving story, exploring the serious allegations against Pastor Miller, the ongoing FBI investigation, and the community’s response to the turmoil engulfing Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach.
Mica Miller, wife of John-Paul Miller, was found deceased in another state on April 27 from a reported gunshot wound. Her death has ignited a firestorm of controversy, bringing to light disturbing accusations against her husband, the pastor of Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach. These allegations range from physical and sexual abuse and infidelity to soliciting prostitutes, painting a grim picture of the environment surrounding Mica Miller in the days leading up to her death. Furthermore, Pastor John-Paul Miller now faces scrutiny over the handling of church finances, adding another layer of complexity to this already tragic situation at Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach.
“Pastor Jumba from Africa” offers a prayer for John-Paul Miller and Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach, as members plan a mission trip to establish a Christian school in Africa.
Recent reports from the Myrtle Beach News have indicated that the FBI is now investigating John-Paul Miller and Tom Winslow, an attorney associated with him, concerning the funds collected for Miller’s African mission, “Dare to Care.” Documents reportedly in the possession of the local newspaper suggest that Mica Miller was aware of this FBI investigation prior to her death. Adding to the financial questions surrounding Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach, a sum of $1,199, believed to be earmarked for the Dare to Care mission, was deposited into Mica Miller’s bank account after her passing. The Myrtle Beach News further reports that there are indications of additional missing funds connected to this same mission initiative at Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach.
Despite the mounting allegations of abuse, infidelity, and financial impropriety, John-Paul Miller has not been dismissed from his leadership position at Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach. Initial reports incorrectly stated his termination, but Charles Randall, identified as instrumental in the church’s establishment and a spiritual advisor to Miller, clarified the situation during a sermon on May 12. Randall stated that Miller has been temporarily relieved of his ministerial duties to seek “healing, counseling, and guidance,” emphasizing that he was not fired from Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach.
Charles Randall, in his sermon and in statements to London’s Daily Mail, has downplayed the severity of the accusations, attributing them to “misinformation and lies” targeting Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach and Pastor Miller. However, a contrasting narrative is emerging across social media and various news outlets, with a steady stream of scandalous photos and reports further fueling public scrutiny. These reports include resurfaced divorce documents from 2015 filed by Miller’s first wife, containing serious allegations, including claims of sexual encounters with minors.
The apparent inaction of Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach leadership in addressing these accusations years ago reportedly triggered a significant exodus of church members. Randall’s recent sermon, as reported by the Daily Mail, appeared to be an attempt to rally support for the embattled pastor and maintain stability within Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach. He urged the congregation to remain steadfast amidst the “storm,” dismissing the allegations as “lies and innuendos” and pledging his continued support for Miller and the ministry.
Interestingly, Charles Randall himself has a background in local politics, having run unsuccessfully for the South Carolina House in 2012 as a conservative Democrat.
Adding to the church’s troubles, Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach’s website is currently suspended and inaccessible. However, their Facebook page remains active, with a recent post on May 14 announcing ongoing plans for a “new building project” and encouraging members to attend a meeting on May 19. This announcement comes as the church faces intense public scrutiny and serious allegations, raising questions about the future of Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach amidst this unfolding scandal.
The situation at Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach is intertwined with broader discussions about the handling of abuse allegations within religious institutions and the accountability of church leadership. As investigations continue and more information comes to light, the story of Solid Rock Church Myrtle Beach serves as a stark example of the devastating consequences of unchecked power and the urgent need for transparency and accountability within religious organizations.
