It remains unclear whether John-Paul Miller, 45, was present at the pulpit. However, police were stationed nearby, amidst barricades established around the property’s perimeter. The white “Solid Rock” lettering that once adorned the church’s distinctive orange sign has been removed.
Protesters were dressed in purple and held signs reading “Justice for Mica,” referencing John-Paul’s estranged wife, who authorities say died by suicide in April.
The case garnered nationwide attention due to allegations that Mica Miller suffered abuse at the hands of her husband prior to her death.

The home is part of Solid Rock Ministries’ extensive real estate portfolio, valued at $5.59 million. It was transferred to Miller in December 2023, per Greensboro, North Carolina outlet Fox 8.
Neighbors reported that authorities informed them of their presence at the residence to execute a search warrant. They also mentioned that Miller was not home at the time investigators arrived.
In the months before her death, Mica, 30, reportedly contacted the police multiple times with serious allegations against her husband. She accused him of slashing her tires, placing a tracking device on her car, and hospitalizing her against her will. She also claimed he had “groomed” her when she was just 10 and he was an adult.
John-Paul Miller has strongly denied any allegations of grooming and abuse. He emphasized that he was hundreds of miles away on the day she took her own life. So far, he has not been accused or charged by the authorities.
