Church leaders have also witnessed a significant political response in the community. “We’ve never seen so many people register to vote and change their affiliation,” said Hibbs.
The reason, he suggested, is the downward trajectory of the Democrat-controlled state, which the pandemic has made only more dramatic.
“I believe California has hit rock bottom,” he said. “And people are saying, ‘This is enough.’”
The election, said Hibbs, is extremely important “because as much as the politics are important, California is going to make a decision about if it’s going to survive or not.”
A little over a month after the state imposed stringent “lockdown”
policies in the name of combating COVID-19 — and after multiple failed
attempts to get Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom to respond to
requests for guidance — Pastor Jack Hibbs decided the best thing he
could do in this time of national crisis was to give people in his
community access to the most “essential” of institutions: the church.
