From Last Sunday…
When God Feels Far Away
What do you do when life doesn’t unfold the way you prayed it would? When you’ve hoped for breakthrough, healing, peace, or clarity—and none of it seems to come?
This message speaks to the painful experience of disappointment with honesty and hope. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered where God is in the middle of unanswered prayer, confusion, or loss. Rather than offering clichés, this sermon meets that struggle head-on and points toward the possibility that God may be nearer than you realize, even when He feels far away.
If you’re walking through a hard season, carrying questions, or simply trying to make sense of your story, this message will encourage you to keep walking and keep listening.

GROUNDWORK: Loving Someone You Can't Fix
Loving Someone You Can’t Fix is a conversation for anyone who feels worn down by a difficult relationship. When someone you love keeps making destructive choices, it’s easy to slip into guilt, confusion, or the pressure to carry what you were never meant to control. In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins offers biblical perspective, practical clarity, and hope for loving well without losing yourself in the process. If you’ve been trying to hold everything together and wondering what faithful love looks like now, this episode is for you.

Celebrate Mother's Day Together
Treat yourself to a refreshing break and join the women of Solid Ground for a special Mother’s Day Luncheon. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a good meal, slow down from the usual pace of life, and spend meaningful time with friends in a warm, welcoming (and delicious) setting. Whether you come with someone you know well or simply come ready to connect, this luncheon offers a relaxed space for conversation, encouragement, laughter, and the kind of unhurried fellowship that is often hard to find in everyday life.
It’s also a lovely way to mark Mother’s Day weekend—sharing a table, enjoying time with other women, and making room for the relationships that help church feel like home.
Shelli Carpenter will be signing people up in person each Sunday. Or click below to register online.

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.
