The Solid Ground Story

Solid Ground Church is located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Not that long ago, this part of the Inland Empire was dominated by citrus groves and vineyards. When our church was planted over 40 years ago, Rancho Cucamonga was already well on its way to becoming what it is today: a thriving city of about 180,000 people.

Solid Ground Ministries consists of 3 branches of ministry; the church congregation, Alta Loma Christian School, serving hundreds of students from preschool-8th grade, and Hidden Oaks, our wedding and event venue. Together, these three ministries provide the vehicles to encourage, teach, bless and partner with families and individuals in our region to see the presence and power of God activated in our community.

We believe God has called us to partner with him to make the “Good News” of Jesus known to our city. It is our desire that the communities around Solid Ground church would have continuous and regular opportunity to hear the hope of the gospel. We take seriously the call to be good neighbors and friends to all those we meet. We believe God is at work in our city and it is our desire to partner with him and be available for his use.

Solid Ground Church is a congregation of the Brethren in Christ denomination. The headquarters of our church are located in Grantham, PA. You can read the statements of faith of the BIC church here.
