As many as 150 demonstrators gathered near Newbury Park's Godspeak church, some supporting its defiance of a judge's order, others denouncing the indoor services.
Minor scuffles erupted Sunday morning between rival demonstrators outside Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park, which welcomed congregants in defiance of a judge’s order forbidding indoor services as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus.
“We have deputies on scene right now, just addressing issues with minor scuffles,” Buschow said. Video footage showed pushing and screaming but no serious injuries.The church has held indoor services since late May, and county healthy authorities have complained that parishioners have not been using masks or practicing social distancing as they pack inside.
“Really, all we’re doing is having church,” McCoy said Saturday on the church’s YouTube channel. “Folks are coming out of the woodwork to support us.”McCoy warned parishioners that authorities might cite them for violating a Ventura County judge’s order, however. Some parishioners have said they would happily frame such citations, but he told them not to take it lightly.
