No one was inside the church at the time of the fire. Faith Tabernacle has been in service for more than 40 years. “We just had church here Saturday. A good service, about 250 people that attend,” ordained Deacon Paul Owens said. “It’s a historical building, we remodeled and did a whole lot of good things to it. And to just see all these good memories go like this is a bad thing. It don’t feel good at all.” All Owens could do was stare at this church as the firefighters worked in frigid conditions to save the building. Owens explained that the church is an old library that was converted for service decades ago. The building had major renovations six years ago now. Firefighters told NBC10 that the fire broke out somewhere in the back of the building on one of the upper floors. SkyForce10 was over the scene just after 8 p.m. where several firetrucks could be seen with their ladders extended along with firefighters outside of the church. Lots of smoke was visible coming from the back of the building. Deacon Owens said that the church will rebuild after the fire. “Trouble don’t last always, and this too shall pass,” Owens said. At this time, the cause of the fire is unknown. This is a developing story. Check back here for updates.
