A southeast Lincoln church caught fire early Saturday morning, resulting in over $1 million in damages.
Lincoln Fire & Rescue (LFR) responded to a call about smoke coming from New Covenant Community Church shortly before 3 AM CT.
When LFR arrived, they noticed smoking fires in the roof.
Crews had to peel back several layers of the roof to combat the fire, according to LFR.
According to initial estimates, the fire caused more than $1 million in damages, with the majority of it occurring between the roof and the ceiling.
According to church representatives, everything in the sanctuary is a total loss.
The fire is likely to have been caused by a lightning strike from the storm, although this has yet to be determined, according to LFR.
LFR stated that they have terminated the fire watch at the church and will enable investigators to access the building.
The incident is still being investigated.
The congregation will meet in the parking lot Sunday morning at normal church service times for prayer and support.
