Advocates to Fight City Hall
In order to either use a building or develop a piece of property for the purpose of worshiping Christ and fellowshipping with other believers, a Church must first obtain any approvals that are required by the City within which it is trying to locate. While this seems like a reasonable requirement, often a Church is discriminated against either because of the religious speech that is taking place on the property or the fact that a Church does not generate tax revenue for the City as a nonprofit entity.
When Westchester Lutheran Church and Christian School applied for approval from the City of Los Angeles to expand and update its existing site, the Church never imagined that the resulting battle would end as it did. The City gave Westchester a conditioned approval mandating that only secular education take place Monday through Friday - effectively prohibiting the speech that was to take place in the Christian school.
Advocates attorneys agreed to file a lawsuit on behalf of Westchester and, as a result of Advocates’ involvement, the City eventually agreed to remove the unlawful conditions and approve the construction. Please listen below to find out what Advocates is doing to protect against this discrimination and the millions of dollars it costs churches and Christian schools around the Nation each year.
