Victory: ACLJ Defeats Religious Discrimination as Local Government Tries to Block Montana Church from Opening
By ACLJ.org
Religious liberty is still under attack here in America.
Last week, the ACLJ stepped in to ensure that a church in Montana would be able to open its doors and worship at its new location.
The church contacted the ACLJ earlier this month after it was informed by the city zoning department that it would never be able to occupy the building provided to the church by a donor.
The church was already in the process of moving from its old location when they were notified and had nowhere to go. According to zoning officials, the property is located in a zoning district which did not allow for the operation of a church.
The church immediately contacted the ACLJ to see if there was anything that could be done.
A quick review of the zoning ordinance revealed that several similarly situated non-religious uses are permitted in that same zoning district including museums, community buildings, private schools, libraries and charitable institutions. ACLJ immediately contacted the city to request that our client be permitted to operate a church.
