The fire damaged the white clapboard sanctuary and destroyed an annex with only cinder block walls remaining. No injuries reported. Firefighters arrived around 2 45 a.m. and contained the fire in about 30 minutes. The FBI and ATF joined the investigation though authorities stressed it appeared non criminal. The church was empty at the time of the fire.
