Van Noy, who is known to bring politics into his sermons, according to the Statesman, has repeatedly questioned the effectiveness of masks in limiting the spread of coronavirus and disregarded the local mask mandate in Kootenai County. In multiple Facebook posts, he said masks were not required and the church, which has about 1,200 members, was not subject to the local mandate because it is not a public space.
“The position is, if you feel comfortable wearing a mask, you can. If you’re not comfortable wearing a mask, you don’t have to,” Reade told the Statesmen when asked if the church’s policies may have changed in light of several members contracting coronavirus. “Nobody is going to be criticized for whatever decision they make.”
