Some California churches and U.S. Navy service members have become more vocal in their efforts to secure religious exemptions from COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Calvary Chapels across California, in particular, have been taking a stance against businesses requiring their employees to be vaccinated or face termination. Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks, pastored by Rob McCoy, is one of the churches offering signed religious exemption letters via a form on its website.
