Fire damages historic Dallas church in East Oak Cliff

Crews were called to the Saintsville Church of God in Christ during the hottest time of the day Tuesday. Nobody was injured, but a church that's been a bedrock of the community was gutted.

The fire damaged several classrooms and the fellowship hall.

While the lead pastor for the church says they will not be having service inside the church this weekend, he says there will be Zoom meetings soon to update the church community on the next steps.

The cause of the fire has not been released.
