In 1980, Solomon became the senior pastor at McLean Bible Church in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. He served in that capacity until September 2017.

Solomon has been on the board of Jews for Jesus since 1987, where he now serves as chairman of the board's executive committee.
In September 2002, Solomon was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve in his administration as a member of the President's Committee on Intellectual Disabilities, a position which he held until 2006.
