Darlene Bishop
Darlene Bishop is Senior Pastor of the dynamic, multi-cultural, Solid Rock Church with two campuses, one in Monroe and the other in Cincinnati, Ohio. She made a commitment to Christ at fourteen years of age and felt the call of God upon her life. A couple years later she married Lawrence Bishop. Together they had 4 children Jana, Lawrence II, Renee and Julie. In 1978 they began Middletown Evangelistic Center in Middletown, Ohio. As the congregation grew, God gave them a desire to build what we now know as Solid Rock Church. They pastored together for 33 years until Pastor Lawrence went home to be with the Lord.
Besides pastoring, Darlene is President and Founder of the Darlene Bishop Home for Life, a residential home for women who are pregnant or dealing with life destructive choices. She is also a nationally known conference speaker with a powerful testimony. She was physically attacked with sickness in her body in March 1986 but she trusted completely in the Word of God and by July 21st of that same year; God completely healed her body.
