“This is harassment”: John MacArthur’s church “in danger” after authorities ask him to vacate the grounds
Many believe that the authorities have taken this action in retaliation against the congregation for continuing to hold religious services inside their temple.
Los Angeles County recently notified Grace Community Church that it is canceling a lease on a large portion of its parking lot.
According to the information provided, the land has been rented to the congregation since 1975.
Church attorneys believe this “measure” is in retaliation for holding worship services in person despite Covid-19 restrictions.
In a letter sent to the church, the county tells Grace Community that the contract will end on October 1.

James T. Sparks, deputy assistant director of the Surveying/Mapping and Property Management Division spoke about this case.
“If Grace fails to vacate the premise as required, the District may enter the premises and remove Grace’s personal property in accordance with the Agreement and applicable law, and Grace will be responsible for any resultant expenses incurred by the District,” the letter read.
Jenna Ellis, a leading American attorney and advocate for John MacArthur’s church, calls this government action “harassment.”
“The Democrats’ message to Americans is clear — if you don’t bow to every whim of tyranny, the government will come after you. The Church has peacefully held this lease for 45 years and the only reason the County is attempting eviction is because John MacArthur stood up to their unconstitutional power grab. This is harassment, abusive, and unconscionable,” Ellis added.
