THIS SUNDAY

A new season starts here.

This coming Sunday, we’ll return to the main worship center for a morning of celebration, prayer and renewed purpose. We’ll honor last spring’s graduates and invite students, teachers and educational administrators from both ALCS and our wider community to come forward for a special time of recognition and prayer. This morning marks more than the beginning of another school year. It’s a new chapter for Solid Ground—a church gathering not simply to fill a room, but to be equipped and sent into our schools, neighborhoods and community with the love of Jesus. Bring your family, invite a friend and join us as we step into this new season together.

LATEST MESSAGE

The series ended. The work didn’t.

What remains after an eight-week church emphasis is finished? In the final message of Who’s Your One?, Mike Collins looks beyond the campaign itself and asks what kind of church Solid Ground is becoming. Through stories that unfold in kitchens, neighborhoods, jury duty and a friendship stretching back to the 1970s, he shows how the light of Jesus becomes visible across an ordinary life. This is not a recap of the series. It is a challenge to carry its purpose forward.

GROUNDWORK

When nothing seems to be happening...

In this episode of Groundwork, Pastor Mike talks about the quiet place where good intentions often fade: the waiting. When love takes time, the answer isn’t to force the relationship or give up on the person. It’s to keep showing up with patience, prayer, and faithful presence while God does the work only He can do. If you’re praying for someone who feels far from God, this conversation will help you keep going with hope.

Coming Up at Solid Ground

  • Remembering Daryl Smathers, Willard Maust, and Carole Engle

    Our church family is grieving the loss of three dear friends: Daryl Smathers, Willard Maust, and Carole Engle. Even in our sorrow, we hold on to the hope that, in Christ, goodbye is not the last word.

    A memorial service for Daryl Smathers will be held at Solid Ground Church on Friday, August 7, at 11:00 a.m. A light lunch will follow the service.

    A memorial service for Willard Maust will be held Saturday, August 8, at 11:00 a.m. at Upland Brethren in Christ Church, 845 W. Arrow Hwy. in Upland.

    A memorial service for Carole Engle will be held Saturday, August 15, at 10:30 a.m. at Upland Brethren in Christ Church.

    Please keep all three families in your prayers in the weeks ahead. If Daryl, Willard, or Carole was part of your story, your presence at these services will be a meaningful gift to those who loved them.

    One Real Conversation.

    You don’t have to force a spiritual moment or have all the answers. This week, start with one real conversation. Slow down. Ask a sincere question. Listen well. Pray for your one by name. And when the door opens, take the next faithful step toward Jesus.

  • Hero Booklet Cover

    A New Outreach Resource.

    Not every act of faithfulness comes with a spotlight. Some of the most important people in our lives are the ones who simply noticed, helped, encouraged, listened, welcomed, or opened a door at the right moment.

    How to Become an Unsung Hero is a short, personal booklet about the kind of influence that rarely makes headlines but often changes lives. It is practical, warm, and rooted in the belief that God can use ordinary people in quietly significant ways.

    Pick up a copy at church.

  • 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 together.

Following Jesus is about more than attending weekend services. It’s about living life connected to Jesus and to one another — having people to rally around us when we need it, and learning to do the same for others.

At Solid Ground, church is more than a service to attend. It’s a community of people learning to worship, pray, serve, forgive, encourage, and follow Jesus in everyday life.

Have a question, need prayer, or want to take a next step? We’d be glad to hear from you.
