Solid Rock Church was sent out from Martindale Baptist Church in January 1993.  Pastor Mike Schlimgen, his wife Diane, their four children, and about twelve other families were the first members.

The first Sunday worship services gathered in a meeting room at Nations Bank, in downtown San Marcos.  There were about 45 in attendance.

SMCISD Superintendent, John Fuller, and SMHS principal Joe Kopek, offered to make the SMHS cafeteria available on Sunday mornings.  The church paid rent for the cafeteria and some classrooms for Sunday School, and attendance began to grow.

In addition to the cafeteria, the church met in the high school auditorium, Springtown shopping center, and Dorie Miller Jr. High School over the next several years.

Three acres of land on Hunter Road were purchased in 1999, and construction of the first buildings began in 2000.  The worship center and offices opened the week before Thanksgiving in 2000.

Solid Rock Church is a Christian church, open to all people, regardless of their church history.  Many nationalities and ethnicities are represented in our church family.  We have a “come as you are” dress code.  You will be welcomed and loved.

We celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of each month.  We also practice Christian baptism, as needed, to recognize new followers of Christ.  

Our Solid Rock Church Core Values:

F – Faith in God

A – Available to Serve

M – Meet together often

I – Inclusive of all people

L – Loving God and Others

Y – “You First” attitude

When you belong to Solid Rock Church, you belong to a loving, caring family.  We sit in table communities on Sunday morning for worship.  We pray for each other and extend care and ministry to one another during the week.

We stress the importance of living the Bible, not just knowing it.  

We gather for a pot-luck dinner after worship, on the first Sunday of the month.  

Our worship services begin at 10:45 on Sunday morning.  

Sunday morning Christian education classes will begin at 9:15 this summer.  TBA
