As of Oct. 2015, The Greater Church of Lucifer (GCOL) opened a public location at 310 1/2 Main Street in Old Town Spring just north of Houston, TX.

GCOL filed for its business license half-way across the state rather than file in the community, its organizers operate under aliases, and the group seeks a tax-exempt non-profit status even though they presently offer no charities that benefit the Old Town Spring community.

Old Town Spring is a community of small businesses thriving on the image of quaint, small-town, old-time values. This business community appeals mainly to a customer-base of families and children, especially during Christmas. The black sign full of upside-crosses in front of their location and other atrocities which this "Church of Lucifer" publicly flaunts essentially constitutes a public nuisance contrary to the economic interest of surrounding businesses.  

Their shocking public image interferes with the ability of  surrounding businesses to attract a family-oriented customer base. Their rights to free expression do not include erecting images which potential customers view as an eyesore. Based on the standards of this particular community, opening this Church of Lucifer with its occult images publicly displayed is on par with opening a porn shop across from a school or a strip club beside a Christian church. Property owners could also be adversely effected if their property values fall due to the negative publicity involved. 

It is imperative that the "Old Town Spring Preservation League" live up to its name and, under the auspices of the Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce, take all possible action within the law to rid the community of this nuisance which will harm business and property value in Old Town Spring.

Those who sign this petition seek to alert the Preservation League and the Chamber of Commerce that the prosperity of the Old Town Spring businesses are in jeopardy through Thanksgiving and Christmas if no meaningful and serious actions are being pursued to remedy this problem.

Out-of-town signatures are welcome because out-of-town visitors comprise a large part of Old Town Spring's prosperity. As Old Town Spring welcomes the money of out-of-town consumers, we welcome the signatures of concerned out-of-towners as well.
