The fire was called in at about five
o'clock this morning, but firefighters
weren't able to stop the blaze before it
destroyed the 60 year old structure.
Fire investigators say a woman was seen
around the church just before the blaze
broke out by mid-morning.
All that was left were the exterior
walls.
Weakened by the fire, the city decided it
would be best to demolish the walls
rather than have them pose a safety
hazard.
The church was preparing for its Easter
celebration, and some of the church
members stood and watched as city crews
took down the walls of what was once
their spiritual sanctuary.
I passed it on a Sunday night.
Take your Bibles home.
You know, they kept on us because, you
know, we have a thing where you should
read your Bible and they give you
something.
And, you know, we just ignored them kind
of. We went on.
And now that we think about it, we you
know, we know what we have missed.
We could see all our instruments all
burned up to Chris.
What did you play, bass, bass,
bass.
They said, well, then you can see it's
all Christmas, so burned up.
Now the church members are looking for
another location to worship and as one
member told us, God will provide.
