What’s a turn the other cheek Christian to do when mobs invade their churches?

There was a thread here yesterday of some BLM thugs walking into a church service and loudly disrupting it, threatening parishioners and even using physical force to intimidate church goers. It got me thinking, if we as Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek, and in some communities, you can’t rely on the police to intervene, what is a Christian to do?
Will all churches have to pay private security companies for protection if we see an upturn in church disruptions?
And what kind of force can a private security firm use to stop intruders from disrupting services?

We carry and have cameras.

Stop turning the other cheek.

Say a prayer and then prepare to show force.

Sure, but can you legally use a weapon against people who are simply disrupting the service by shouting? And what if they refuse to leave?

Jesus said also to protect yours.

Turning the other cheek does not mean laying down like a whipped dog.
People have screwed that verse up so much. Same as “the meek shall inherit the earth” people take meek to mean weak when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

My church has a security team (all volunteer church members), and most members conceal carry. Remember, even Jesus whooped some arse to run the thieves out of the temple.

With past demonstrated shootings there is going to be a perceived threat.

Turning the other cheek is one thing. Allowing yourself to be terrorized is another. There simply has to be a line that can’t be crossed or you allow you and your families safety to be jeopardized. At some point you have to stand your ground. Personally I’m there. If I have someone come threaten me, no matter the location, I will take action, no doubt in my mind.
We’ve allowed this to go on for too long.

Christ taught not to worry too much about worldly things. In the end everything in the physical world is dust.
Heaven, Hell, souls going to either, that's a Christian's main concern.
He'd probably preach for you to do your best to make sure their souls are saved.

And what happens when the local governmental authorities, city, county and state mayors, governors and District Attorneys demonstrate support for the "protestors" and a propensity to arrest and prosecute those who use any force to defend themselves against these Sturmabteilung Leftist Brownshirts?
These are all unknowns, because Die USA is now in uncharted territory.
We have two choices: re-elect a man who will fight the Leftist Power OR put a career Wash DC Democrat in the White House who will spend his days issuing platitudes that somebody else writes for him and doing nothing but watch with approval as Die USA descends into something like Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe, with the inflation of 1921 Germany.
The choice is yours, US electorate. Choose wisely.

I can turn my own cheek. But I can't turn the cheeks of others.
James 4:17 "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."
We stand up and defend the helpless. Protect the weak. Fight injustice.
That's what we do.

Depends on the state.
Some states you can use deadly force on trespassers who refuse to leave

That'd be my response to someone coming onto private property and pushing people around.

Where I live the sheriff is a bad arse and won't stand for this, but contacting them may be too late. There's enough baws at our church to do some removal. We have quite a few border agents who pack heat and there may be a few others, so I've been told.

Quit listening to Hollywood's version of Christianity.
We are not second class citizens.
We apologize if we offend, we don't kowtow.

Have you ever heard of Jesus “cleansing” the Temple?
