TOM BEAN, Texas (KXII) Fire destroyed a church in Tom Bean that was struck by lightning during a storm early Saturday morning.
Grayson County’s fire marshal says crews from four volunteer fire departments responded to the First United Methodist Church just after 2 a.m. Saturday.
Firefighters were on the scene for around nine hours until 11 a.m. putting out the flames.
Reverend Trent Baggett said the fire started after lightning struck the steeple.
He said the sanctuary is a total loss, but other areas of the building are OK.
"My job is to help them understand that Christ is with us always, no matter what happens, and we're going to be taken care of," Baggett said.
The church plans on continuing online services.
