Jessica (and CL),

 42 USC Section 12187 is what you're thinking of.  This is where it's stated that both private clubs and religious organizations are exempt from having to allow any kind of service dog.

Here's what it says, exactly:

"The provisions of this subchapter shall not apply to private
clubs or establishments exempted from coverage under title II of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000-a(e)) [42 U.S.C. 2000a
et seq.] or to religious organizations or entities controlled by
religious organizations, including places of worship."
