A group of people met at the corner of Madison Road and Vandercar Way waving pride flags and signs as morning service began at Crossroads Church Oakley behind them.
Ashli Kurzhals, who was at the service, said she was devastated and shocked. It felt like the rug was being ripped out from underneath me. I came here thinking it truly was an affirming, accepting church. And sitting inside that service last week, I was appalled, disgusted, and then devastated to see how many people stood up in ovation to the message, Kurzhals said.
An attendee at the rally, Parker, a former Crossroads employee, showed up at the demonstration in their old Crossroads shirt and work badge.
