The decision to close the church campus off First Street, which was announced by email to CrossWalk members Saturday, resulted from a notice issued by the Evergreen Association of American Baptist Churches to member congregations, Shaw said in an email.
A message from the Rev. Douglas Avilesbernal, executive minister of the Evergreen Association based in Kent, Washington, described news of “concerning threats against liberal/progressive churches in the next week,” with special concern about events on Jan. 17 and 20.
“So far the advice is to spend as little time as possible at your church buildings during this possibly dangerous season,” wrote Avilesbernal. “If you have alarms please make sure they are active. If you have cameras check their memory cards and if you do not, it probably is a good idea to invest in some.
A church in Napa is closed and won't reopen until tomorrow because of a possible threat. The CrossWalk Community Church has been closed since Sunday according
