City Church Lead Pastor Jonathan Parnell told Fox News’ Griff Jenkins that children and families were “terrorized” after anti-ICE agitators disrupted a Sunday worship service, an incident the church says might lead to legal action.

On Jan. 18, a group of anti-ICE protesters deliberately disrupted a worship service at Cities Church, a church plant in St. Paul supported by the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Send Network. It is also the church where Desiring God’s President and CEO Marshall Segal and Executive Editor David Mathis serve as pastors. Author Joel Rigney, who wrote “The Sin of Empathy,” helped plant the church and previously served as a pastor there.

Videos of the incident show protesters chanting and screaming in the faces of church members as congregants attempted to worship.
