From Last Sunday…

Easter is often seen as a celebration of something that happened long ago. An empty tomb. A risen Savior. A moment in history.

But the first Easter wasn’t just about something that happened. It was about something that started.

In the middle of confusion, grief, and unanswered questions, one unexpected moment changed everything—not when the tomb was discovered, but when Jesus spoke a single word–a name.

This Easter, we’re exploring what it means for the resurrection to become more than information… and start becoming personal.

If you’ve ever wondered why knowing about Jesus doesn’t always feel like it changes anything, this message is for you. Because the turning point might not be what you think. And it might be closer than you realize.

Coming Up at Solid Ground

  • Current Groundwork Episode

    GROUNDWORK: Outreach for Introverts

    Some people make sharing their faith look effortless. They always seem to know what to say. They’re confident, natural, unafraid.

    And if that’s not you… it can quietly leave you wondering if something’s wrong.

    There’s a kind of pressure many people carry—but rarely name. It builds slowly… through what gets highlighted, what gets celebrated, and what seems to “count.” Over time, it can make you feel like you’re falling behind—like your faith doesn’t measure up in the ways that matter most.

    But what if that assumption isn’t true?

    In this episode of Groundwork, we step back and take a fresh look at what it actually means to live out your faith—and why it may not look the way you’ve been led to expect.

    This isn’t about lowering the standard.
    It’s about seeing it clearly.

    If you’ve ever felt that tension, this conversation may bring clarity—and relief.

  • Post-Easter potluck

    All-Church Potluck

    This coming Sunday, we’re gathering for a simple, meaningful time together as a church family at Solid Ground.

    This potluck isn’t just about food (though there will be plenty of that). It’s about connection. It’s a chance to slow down, sit with people, and enjoy the kind of community that’s hard to find anywhere else.

    It’s also the perfect opportunity to invite someone new.

    Know someone who came to Easter? Someone who’s been asking questions, or just needs a place to belong? This is an easy next step—no pressure, no expectations. Just a welcoming table, good conversation, and a chance to experience the heart of our church in a relaxed setting.

    Bring a dish if you can. Bring a friend if you will. And come ready to linger a little longer than usual. Because sometimes the most meaningful moments happen after the service ends.

  • It's Coffee Time!

    Our Sunday sermons are designed to be the first words in a conversation, not the last. The discussion continues every Wednesday morning at Coffee Klatch on the NE corner of Foothill and Vineyard in Rancho Cucamonga. Join Pastor Mike and a group of eager Solid Grounders as we dig deeper into what God’s Word has to say to us.

We practice the way of Jesus and we want you to be part of the journey.

Following Jesus is about more than attending weekend services. It’s about living life to the full, connected to Jesus and to one another. It’s about having a community of people to rally around us when we need it and a willingness to do the same for them. Navigate around our site to explore the variety of ways you can serve and be served as part of our faith family.
