If your church doesn't have a plan to go underground NOW you are asleep at the wheel. You have to be prepared to deal with a fast-moving lawfare decapitation attack - where the physical property of the church is seized and pastors and elders are all imprisoned in the hopes of scattering and completely shuttering the congregation.
Churches should develop cell structures and be discipling all members with how to continue to worship, evangelize and serve in such a state. All mature men should be trained to lead small groups in prayer, worship and Bible reading and providing basic sermons at whatever level they are capable of. Look to the Church in China and other closed countries for guidance in how to function and ultimately thrive. They, not the American church, are spiritually mature and battle-tested.

If not an overt seizure of property, the state will allow leftist terrorists to do their bidding with impunity.
Look up the book When the Wicked Seize a City, by Pastor Chuck McIlhenny. His conservative Presbyterian church fired a church organist who came out as openly "gay," and although a court affirmed the church's right to do so, they were literally attacked - firebombed - with the San Francisco city officials and law enforcement essentially looking the other way.
