After Los Angeles County failed for a fourth time during the current pandemic to convince a judge to shut down indoor services at a popular Christian megachurch, the county is moving to evict the congregation from a parking lot it’s been using for 45 years.
Pastor John MacArthur and Grace Community Church of the Valley claim they are being booted from the land used for parking that they have leased nonstop from the county since 1975 as an act of retaliation by the county whose officials have been rebuffed repeatedly by the courts. The church pays the county $8,300 per month in rent for the land, according to the lease.
