Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), which represents the five churches, announced Saturday that the high court granted injunctive relief while they await a decision on their petition from the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

"My clients—the churches—are grateful to be able to open their doors again this Sunday after having been locked for most of the last 12 months," said PJI Attorney Kevin Snider. "As this litigation continues, we are cautiously optimistic that those doors will not be barred again by overreaching government officials." 

The churches include Gateway City Church, The Spectrum Church, The Home Church, Orchard Community Church, and Trinity Bible Church. 

A lawsuit was filed against Santa Clara County earlier this month after the district continued to prohibit indoor services despite an earlier Supreme Court ruling that Gov. Newsom's ban violated the First Amendment, according to Mercury News.

After the high court's ruling, Santa Clara County said indoor worship services were permitted at 20 percent capacity but other indoor gatherings are restricted for now "The Ninth Circuit's failure to grant relief was erroneous," the Supreme Court's order reads. "This outcome is clearly dictated by this Court's decision in South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
