We told you when California tried to use the pandemic to shut down singing in church that this was just the first salvo of a coming battle. We won that case with a settlement agreement in federal court.
But now another church, this time in Virginia, is being banned from using its own property for worship and other ministry. Scripture says, "on this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18), but the county said, not on this property. Why? Because the church won't get a liquor license. Yes, you read that right. And no, they don't even use wine in communion.
It's absurd. And it's unconstitutional.
Just hours ago, we filed a lawsuit in federal court to defend the religious liberty of the Church.
For more than 30 years, the ACLJ has successfully defended religious liberty at the Supreme Court. We were built for this moment. As we file our lawsuit, we need YOU.
Sign Our Petition: Stop Radical Left From Shutting Down Church.
