I suspect the church meetings will be upheld. However, the home bible studies and leadership meetings will go down in flames.

“”The assembly activities associated with the church, including Bible studies, church leadership meetings and church fellowship activities are not permitted,” wrote Mike Milillo, the city’s senior planner.”

Using a house as a primary place of worship for an entire church is a bit different from using one’s house for bible studies or a meeting of deacons (elders, whatever you call them). I don’t think any court will uphold a ban on bible studies, provided that isn’t another name for the primary worship service of the entire congregation. Nor will any court uphold a ban on 3 people meeting for religious purposes.

It’s no different. If it is in my home I can have 2 or 200 people for just about anything else. This is not China where you must get a government license in order to worship as you wish. They have no rights to bust up these meetings. Period.
