For the third time, First Liberty is facing off against city officials for taking an unconstitutional approach to shut down a house of worship.
These city officials are abusing their authority by illegally using zoning laws to keep houses of worships from serving their communities and ministering to the most vulnerable.
In Ohio, the City of Bryan used zoning laws to criminally charge Pastor Chris Avell. His "crime" was choosing to care for the homeless by keeping the doors of Dad’s Place open 24/7 in the dead of winter.
In Arizona, the City of San Luis used zoning laws to stop Gethsemani Baptist Church from feeding and ministering to 300 impoverished families.
And now in New Hampshire, the Town of Weare has used zoning laws to prevent Grace New England Church from meeting on Pastor Howard Kaloogian’s property.
In response to the town’s hostility, First Liberty filed a federal lawsuit to protect Pastor Howard’s and Grace New England Church’s right to meet and to worship.
Listen to attorney Jeremy Dys break down the shocking details of this case and what we are doing to stop this unconstitutional demand from the town.
Thank you for supporting First Liberty by learning more about the discrimination that this small church plant is facing.
Every person of faith in America should be able to meet for worship, especially in their own home.
First Liberty will not sit on the sidelines while Pastor Kaloogian faces unconstitutional pushback from town officials.
But we can’t do it without you.
Will you support Pastor Kaloogian and his congregation as they fight for their right to religious liberty?
