JOHN PAUL MILLER RUNS A CHURCH AS HIS PRIVATE BUSINESS
Moving trucks were observed on November 5, transporting belongings from Solid Rock Church as they departed the church located in Market Common. The signage displaying the name Solid Rock was also removed from the building’s front.
Solid Rock acquired a neighboring plot of land in 2023 with intentions to construct a bigger church. However, there has been no progress made in commencing the construction of the new building. The pastor is likely to reopen the church with a new name Living Water Church.
John-Paul Miller listed his residence on Cold Water Circle in the Market Common vicinity as the location for the newly renamed church. Interestingly, this relocation from Solid Rock transpired within a week of the FBI conducting a search at John-Paul Miller’s house.
Details regarding the purpose of the search are yet to be divulged by the FBI. However, our sources indicate that John Paul Miller has a network of attorneys and accountants who are helping him set up these elaborate schemes.
It is likely that the FBI is attempting to gather intel on the entire network.
