Sacramento Fire crews responded to the scene along the 3900 block of Marysville Boulevard just before noon and found flames shooting from the second floor of an old church building.
Exactly what started the fire is under investigation, but firefighters say this is the third time they've been out at this same old church recently.
No injuries have been reported.
It's unclear how long the building has been abandoned, but it used to be the home of the Victory Tabernacle Church.
