“We have experienced a fire in the Historic Sanctuary,” he wrote on X. “To our knowledge, no one is hurt or injured, and we thank God for His protection. He is sovereign even in the most difficult times.”



Quoting Romans 8:28, he added, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” 

Jeffress said the church would “keep you updated as we prepare to come together to worship.”
