Worship Service Disrupted, Faith Defended in Minnesota
Faith Facts
- Three activists were arrested for disrupting worship at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
- They are charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and conspiracy federal laws.
- Religious leaders and officials reaffirmed America’s commitment to protecting freedom of worship.
The Department of Justice confirmed that federal agents arrested activists after an anti-ICE protest disrupted a Sunday service at Cities Church in St. Paul. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel stated Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen were charged under the FACE Act, which guards access to faith communities.
“Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP,”
Bondi declared, making clear that the protection of churches is a top priority.
The arrests also included William Kelly, who was recorded harassing worshipers and mocking believers. These activists, connected to the Racial Justice Network and Black Lives Matter leadership, stormed the Southern Baptist congregation, cutting the Sunday service short with disruptive shouts.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized America’s foundational commitment to religious freedom and cited the federal law against conspiring to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights.
“Religious freedom is the bedrock of the United States — there is no first amendment right to obstruct someone from practicing their religion,”
Noem said.
Authorities pointed out that protecting places of worship upholds the nation’s purpose, founded by those fleeing persecution and seeking the freedom to worship God in peace.
As faith and freedom come under attack, Christians must remain vigilant in prayer, defending the right to worship, and standing together to preserve the legacy of our founders’ devotion to God. Now is the time to boldly defend what is sacred to our families and churches.

- Album emphasizes surrender, vulnerability, and Scripture after nearly 30 years in Christian music
- West challenges the culture of self-empowerment with a message of Christ-centered living
Christian music artist Matthew West is calling believers to place Jesus above self in his latest album, ‘Jesus Is King.’ The project comes after nearly three decades of ministry and reflects a deeper commitment to Scripture and surrender.
West says the album confronts a culture obsessed with self-empowerment by lifting up the lordship of Christ instead. He believes true strength comes from laying down personal control and trusting God’s Word.
"The message of this album is that Jesus is King, and that changes everything."
Through honest lyrics and personal testimony, West hopes listeners will rediscover the power of vulnerability before God. He points to Scripture as the foundation for every song and every season of life.
"After nearly 30 years in Christian music, I am more convinced than ever that surrender is the doorway to real freedom."
