However, two firefighters were treated for heat-related injuries and the fire destroyed most of the building, and caused more than $250,000 in estimated damages.

Police have not named any suspects, but said they are working to determine if the arson was a hate crime.

Even if it is a hate crime, the pastor of the church said he’s already willing to forgive whoever did it.
