A church fire in Quincy destroyed the Faith Heritage Church on West Jefferson Street.
It happened at 4:00 a.m. Wednesday morning.
We spoke to the pastor who says despite all of this, services will still go on as planned Sunday morning.
"I woke up to the sound of the Sheriff Department knocking at my door at 3 in the morning, motioning and screaming for me to evacuate and evacuate immediately," said Pastor Paul Ladd.
He escaped in time to find the church that's called Quincy home for over 100 years burning down in flames.
"It's devastating. This church has a rich history here in this city and Gadsden County. This is one of the very first churches in this city and in this county," said Ladd.
Members of the congregation, even concerned neighbors stopped by to survey what still stands of Faith Heritage.
