Firefighters were able to save the sanctuary area of the church, but drywall and other debris are drooping from the ceiling.
The fire did spread in part to the auto shop next door, but firefighters were able to negate the damage.
No one was injured in the fire and no one is believed to have been inside the church at the time.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
