Amanda Butterfield ReportingAn LDS church building went up in flames over the weekend. While investigators figure out how it was caused, church leaders are figuring out where to hold services now.
No one is allowed inside except cleanup crews and contractors, but earlier today we got a firsthand look inside at the damage. It's creepy -- blackened walls, burned up seats -- this is not what the inside of a building used to worship God is supposed to look like.
Martin Hill, Stake President: "We're sad, a lot of damage. We're very grateful that no one was hurt, that's the most important thing."
The blaze started Sunday afternoon just as church services were ending.
Josh Erd, Church Memeber: "We were driving by all these fire trucks, couldn't believe it cause we were there a half an hour earlier."
Fire investigators say it wasn't an electrical problem, but that it was human caused. They just don't know who was involved or if it was intentionally set. They do know, though, no one is going to worship there for a long time.
Three congregations met there, and over the next several weeks they'll be meeting at nearby churches.
Josh Erd, Church Member: "It's funny cause, nice to have church building so close to our house, and the next week we can't even go there."
Church leaders are still getting estimates on how long it will take and how much it will cost to repair the building -- if it's even repairable.
