This is a residential area and there are woods behind my house. They are supposed to have a public hearing on this. I do not want the church to to built just behind my house because of the noise and the trees will be gone. Please let me know if there are any valid points I can bring up which can make them reconsider their decision.
Thanks.

The traffic from the church may pose a risk to the children in the neighborhood.

A church is actually a great neighbor. It certainly beats many other alternatives including, a large subdivision of noisy neighbors or several homes with dogs that bark incessantly, or have teenagers who blare music and drag race down residential streets.
Churches are often busy places on Sundays but not other days of the week.
Perhaps there is some negotiating with having them plant the same number of trees they removed from the property...or perhaps there could be a landscaping barrier.
When our church was expanded, one of the concessions we made was to enhance the property with landscaping especially on the border of the church property and the residential subdivision. It looks wonderful and the people in that community are very happy. One man even had a fence built in the project.
Everything is negotiable, and hopefully, if you are dealing with an understanding congregation, they will be more ameniable to your concerns.

I can sympathize with the loss of trees, however I can't see where there would be excessive noise unless the choir sings off key and that would be a valid point on your part.
Usually the people of the church buy or are given a chunk of land and then they build on it. however...if it was the city that sold the property to the church..just think...it could have been sold for the city dump or the jail, or shelter for homeless and drug addicts...there are worse things than living near a church.

In the US , a city would rarely be able to build a church .
They get sued just for putting up Christian Holiday decorations .
A religious organization probably owns the property and has applied for a construction permit .
The issues would be the same as a business , like traffic , parking etc .

If a city wants to build a church, it will be the first church any city has ever built in the US.
Cities don't build churchs.
Where are you located?
