A federal judge ruled that the Town of Castle Rock cannot enforce a land use code against The Rock evangelical church for providing temporary shelter for unhoused people on its property.

U.S. District Court Judge Daniel D. Domenico handed down the ruling on Friday. The decision granted the church a preliminary injunction.

The church sued Castle Rock earlier this year after it received a “letter of determination” from the zoning manager stating that the church was violating zoning regulations and that it couldn’t park RVs used as residences on site.

    This church is trying to provide houses for homeless people. Christianity started out being pretty unpopular with the law but that hasn’t stopped them because laws don’t define morality. I suppose if you don’t want the church housing the homeless you can always invite them to your house.
