CFD tweeted just after 3:15 p.m. that firefighters were responding to a still and box at the church.



An accidental fire sparked by construction crews working on its roof devastated the historic church Friday leaving it not much more than a burned out shell.

"We did weep on Friday. We wept last night. But, joy came this morning," Lead Pastor Gerald Dew said this weekend.



It was not immediately clear what caused the church to catch fire again Monday. On Friday it took hours for crews to extinguish stubborn hotspots, even after the bulk of the fire had been struck out. The fire also reignited on Saturday.
