THIS SUNDAY
Something special for this Sunday…
Sometimes the things we offer can feel small — a quiet word, a simple act of kindness, a moment of faithfulness, a seed planted when no one seems to notice. But in God’s hands, small things are never wasted.
On Mother’s Day (this coming Sunday!), Marie Collins will share a special message about the hidden power of simple, faithful living. Whether you’re a mom, a daughter, a friend, a mentor, or someone wondering if your everyday efforts really matter, this message will encourage you to see the beauty and significance of the seeds you’re planting.
Join us next Sunday for The Power of Small — a hopeful reminder that what looks ordinary today can grow into something far greater than we can see.
Last Sunday
You can have peace even when you don’t have the plan.
Sometimes the future feels uncertain, the answers don’t come, and all we really want is for God to explain what He’s doing.
The Lord doesn’t always fill us in on the details, but Pastor Mike says that He gives us something much better. In this message, he’ll explain how real peace is possible even when life feels unclear, unsettled, or out of control.
Groundwork
Feeling lonely doesn’t always mean being alone.
Feeling lonely doesn’t always mean being alone. Sometimes the ache is deepest when you’re surrounded by people, greeted by name, and still wonder if anyone really knows what you’re carrying.
In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins talks about why friendship and belonging can be so hard in adult life—and why being seen is not the same as being known. With warmth and honesty, he explores the hidden loneliness many people carry, even in families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and churches, and offers a gentle path toward deeper connection through small, faithful steps.
If you’ve ever felt unknown in a room full of people, this conversation will help you see that you’re not the only one—and that belonging often begins with one ordinary step toward another person.
Coming Up at Solid Ground

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.

Celebrate Our Saints
Every week at Solid Ground, ministry happens because faithful people serve—often quietly and without recognition, like “saints behind the scenes.”
They welcome guests, teach kids, lead worship, run tech, pray, set up, care for others, and help make Solid Ground feel like home. Their work may not always be visible, but its impact is felt throughout our church family.
On Sunday, May 17, we’ll take time after the service to thank and celebrate these special people with a Volunteer Appreciation Lunch. We’ll share some yummy tacos for lunch, enjoy time as a church family, and honor the quiet faithfulness that strengthens Solid Ground week after week.
This lunch is not just for volunteers. Everyone is invited. Please plan to stay, eat, connect, and help us celebrate the people who make ministry happen at Solid Ground.

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.
