Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, became the center of intense public attention following the death of Mica Miller in 2024. The church had been founded by pastor John-Paul “JP” Miller in 2016, years before his marriage to Mica. After her death, demonstrations began outside the church during Sunday services, with protesters calling for answers and justice. The situation continued for months, creating increasing pressure around the congregation and its pastor. JP’s attorney later said the protests had effectively destroyed the church’s ability to continue operating, and Solid Rock eventually closed its doors permanently in 2024. JP himself was later indicted on federal allegations involving cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. He pleaded not guilty, and those charges were separate from any allegation that he caused Mica’s death.
The story took another major turn after the church property was sold. A few months after Solid Rock closed, JP sold the approximately 2.3-acre property for about $2.1 million, according to reports. Plans were later discussed to demolish the longtime church building and replace it with condominiums, although the demolition had not yet taken place as of the latest reports. JP publicly blamed local officials for failing to protect the property from what he described as ongoing harassment, saying the church had ultimately been forced to close. Meanwhile, Mica’s story has returned to national attention through the Netflix docuseries Death of the Pastor’s Wife, which examines her life, her relationship with JP, and the events surrounding her death. The former Solid Rock property now stands as a striking reminder of how dramatically the church’s story changed in just a few years.
