The fire broke out Monday afternoon at the New Life in Christ Bible Church in the 1600-block of South 15th Avenue.The massive blaze destroyed all but the outer shell of the structure, and caused the roof to cave in. It was struck out about three hours after it started. The cause of the fire is under investigation and not yet known.
"They're not sure. We have no idea. We were just celebrating Christmas a Sunday ago and everything was intact. Everything was beautiful and it's just hard to believe it's gone so fast," he said."We were so proud to see a brand new roof put on the church and to see it today just totally destroyed," he said, choking up.
