The city approved for the building of townhomes less than 10 feet away from this church and the current problems are a reflection of Columbia's poor zoning judgment, not a reflection of a church's lack of respect for their community.
In fact, as it looks right now, the church is actually losing this battle.
They need a good lawyer.

Re: "Shut the down until they can stop disturbing.
LOL don't mess with first amendment rights.
Howling and dancing and beating drums all night aren't covered in the bill of rights. Those are crimes in civilized communities.

"howling and dancing and beating drums all night" are considered "worship" by some Christians and by some non-Christians.

No, civilization encroached on the church. Pay attention.

Re: "Shut them down until they can stop disturbing
An attorney is needed. The church was there first. The city will lose the case.
The grandfather clause will win out.
