Last Friday, the City of Stockton cleared out an encampment behind Registration for Life Ministries on East Anderson Street, delivering notices for people living there to vacate the area.
"The next day, they came back, started setting up camp again," Pastor Barbara Bridges said. "It was unbelievable."
On Monday morning, Stockton police returned to the area, taking down tents and removing people still living near the slough. During the cleanup, a nearby grass fire was reported next to the encampment. Fire crews arrived shortly after and put it out.
Bridges said the situation has become increasingly aggressive in recent months.
Last week, church leaders showed CBS13 a threatening message left on their door written on a vacate notice previously handed out to people living in the encampment. The note called church leaders hypocrites.
Stockton City Councilmember Brando Villapudua said city leaders are now working on long-term solutions for the area, including possible fencing.
A meeting between city leaders and church officials is scheduled for Wednesday.
