Metro Police spoke with church leaders who said services will end at 11 p.m.
According to a spokesperson for the department, they said 45 minutes should be a reasonable amount of time for those demonstrating to get home which is allowed under the curfew.
A few dozen protesters gathered outside of the downtown church past the 9 p.m. curfew as Jefferson Square Park was empty.
