I probably feel different than most here; but churches shouldn’t hosting political groups of any kind, in my opinion.

Churches were used by the Committees of Correspondence during the Revolution. The War of Independence was preached from the pulpit. Same with abolition, woman's suffrage, the fight against Jim Crow and opposition to the Viet Nam War. Except for some minor Christian groups which believe in a withdrawal from the public square, the idea that the church should keep out of politics is a post-WWII idea found mostly on the left and only when conservatives church goers are involved.
