The California Bill AB-495 Family Preparedness Plan Act is currently stirring controversy and worry among Christian believers and parents for fear that once passed, practical strangers could take custody over their children. Now that this bill is in motion, California faith leaders are speaking out against the state’s controversial and anti-family legislation.
Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills talked at the Turning Point USA’s Faith Forward Pastors event last week about why this bill calls for pastors to speak up.

According to the Christian Post, Hibbs said, “This state is the greatest state in this nation, and that’s why I think it is the absolute target of the enemy…some of the greatest movements in the church have happened in California.”

They also noted that Hibbs acknowledged the spiritual battle that is happening within the church in California. “…when I look across the landscape of the American pulpit, the California pulpit, if we don’t get this next argument right in showing up during the battle, then I don’t know how it’s going to go for California.”
Hibbs is not the only pastor who is fighting for state of California. Pastor Ché Ahn of Harvest Rock Church located in Pasadena recently announced his candidacy for the California Governor’s race. One of the key issues Ahn is desiring to tackle is the safety of the family unit.
On X, Ahn wrote: “Every child deserves an education that prepares them for the future. Higher standards. Stronger parental involvement. Freedom to live out their values. I’m ready to restore excellence to California’s schools.
Ahn also noted that proper border security is essential for safe and productive families.
“Every parent deserves to raise their children without fear. Every community deserves to be secure. This isn’t a partisan issue — it’s a human one,” he writes.
Along with Hibbs and Ahn, Let Us Worship leader Sean Feucht also has concerns about the direction that California is heading regarding the family unit.

“I love to mobilize worship and prayer across California, but there are times as a parent we need to hold the line,” Feucht says in a social media video.
During this time, pray for the state of California and for its leaders to choose the path of righteousness, instead of the path of darkness.
