Myrtle Beach Pastor Confronted by Protestor Amid Controversy Surrounding Wife’s Death

Myrtle Beach Pastor Dispute Takes a Dramatic Turn

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Tensions boiled over in Myrtle Beach on Wednesday afternoon as Pastor John-Paul Miller of Solid Rock Ministries found himself in an alarming confrontation with a protestor from the “Justice for Mica” movement. The incident is part of an ongoing saga surrounding the mysterious death of Miller’s wife, Mica, which has gripped the community and evoked strong emotions from her supporters.

The Confrontation

Just after 2:30 p.m., things escalated when Miller came face-to-face with an outspoken demonstrator outside his church. This altercation occurred at the Horry-Georgetown Technical College’s Market Common campus, where the atmosphere was already charged. Video footage captured moments of the confrontation, showing an agitated Miller engaging directly with a woman, asking her, “What did you say? You walked right up to me.” The situation became more intense as the woman alleged that Miller had put his hands on her, escalating the confrontation.

Myrtle Beach police were quick to respond, stating there would be an increased law enforcement presence in the area following the dispute. Currently, no official charges have been reported, and the situation remains under investigation.

The Aftermath of Mica’s Death

The backdrop of this incident is deeply troubling. Mica Miller was found dead at Lumber River State Park back in late April, with authorities ruling her death a suicide. However, the closure of this case hasn’t quelled the firestorm of controversy surrounding it. Allegations of abuse against John-Paul Miller before her death have fueled a nationwide outrage and led to persistent protests urging justice for Mica.

Adding to the drama, just a day prior to the confrontation, changes at the Solid Rock church were evident, as a sign stripped of its white “Solid Rock” lettering was removed. Miller’s car was spotted parked at the church during this time, but when approached for comments, both he and church adviser Charles Randall declined to speak, leaving many questions unanswered.

FBI Involvement Raises Concerns

Just last week, the FBI conducted a lengthy operation at Miller’s home, confiscating multiple boxes of evidence. What they were searching for is still unclear, and the agency hasn’t provided any comments regarding potential legal actions or indictments, which only adds to the mystery surrounding this case.

The church and Miller’s home are reportedly part of a substantial $5.59 million real estate portfolio linked with Solid Rock Ministries. As uncertainty looms over Solid Rock’s future, it seems that Miller isn’t standing still. Recently, he registered a new establishment, Living Water Church at Market Common Inc., hinting at a possible new direction for his ministry. Interestingly, all assets from this new nonprofit, once established, would revert to St. Delight Pentecostal Church, where Randall serves as pastor.

A Community at a Crossroads

This unsettling chapter in Myrtle Beach’s religious community reflects wider issues that are coming to the forefront. The call for justice in Mica’s case resonates strongly among those who knew her or were touched by her story. As the investigation unfolds and more details come to light, the community remains on edge, seeking answers and reassurance amidst the turmoil surrounding the life and death of Mica Miller.

Whether the emergence of Living Water Church will provide healing or escalate the existing tensions remains to be seen. For now, the residents of Myrtle Beach are left watching closely as this story continues to develop.
