City Unconstitutionally Targets Churches

For more than four years, three local churches in Colorado peacefully gathered every Tuesday and Thursday at a public park to do what Scripture commands: worship, pray, study Scripture, and share meals in Christian fellowship. They exercised their constitutionally protected right to freely practice their faith in a traditional public forum – a right that has been guaranteed to Americans since our nation’s founding.

Then the City of Northglenn decided their religious exercise was a problem, going so far as criminally citing the pastors for exercising their constitutionally protected rights to religion, speech, and assembly.

The ACLJ is taking legal action, representing four church members, including two pastors. This case represents yet another disturbing example of government hostility toward religious expression – and we won’t stand for it
