California pastor says health officials harassed his church over COVID mandates


california worthy ministries(Worthy News) – A California pastor said that his church was subjected to overly zealous treatment by state officials attempting to enforce compliance with strict COVID-19 mandates.

Pastor Mike McClure has kept his Calvary Chapel San Jose church and its affiliated school open throughout the lockdowns. The pastor and his attorney Bob Tyler spoke with Charlie Kirk on the Turning Point USA founder’s eponymous show, describing what they said was action from the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA).

The church faces $3.8 million in fines for defying COVID mandates, McClure said, while he personally faces more than $100,000 in contempt fines. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
