FBI raids home of pastor John-Paul Miller after wife Mica Miller’s suicide

The FBI conducted a raid Friday on the Myrtle Beach home of John-Paul Miller, pastor of Solid Rock Church, approximately six months after he announced his wife Mica Miller’s suicide during a sermon.

According to WBTW News13, no official link has been made between the raid and Mica’s death. However, federal agents stated they were “conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity” at the pastor’s residence. 

Neighbors reported that agents were executing a search warrant, with Miller believed to be absent at the time. Images showed multiple FBI trucks outside the home, and agents from the Evidence Response Team were seen gathering items.

Mica Miller, who died in April from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in South Carolina, was captured on surveillance footage purchasing a firearm shortly before her death. Allegations of abuse and infidelity against Miller surfaced after he disclosed his wife’s passing at Market Common Church. 

According to DailyMail.com, scrutiny around Solid Rock Ministries has increased, particularly after church leaders allowed Miller to return to the pulpit amid accusations of improper behavior involving underage girls.

DailyMail.com also reported on further financial controversies, with Mica’s sister, Sierra, filing legal claims alleging that Miller and Solid Rock colluded to deprive Mica of her fair share of marital assets. 

In December 2023, Miller reportedly sold their shared Horry County home to Solid Rock Ministries for $169,331.31—significantly less than its estimated value of $240,000—two months after Mica had filed for divorce, seeking an equal division of the property.

Solid Rock Ministries, granted tax-exempt status in 2015, currently holds ownership of the property. As investigations continue, attention remains on Miller’s actions, as well as Solid Rock Ministries’ property holdings and operations.
