No one was in the church when the fire started and no firefighters were hurt while putting out the fire.
Deb Brennan, of Cromwell, is a member of the church and said she is thankful for what was saved from the fire.

Banners and the large Bible from the pulpit were also saved, she said.
"We also have a Tiffany window and it still seems to be intact, which is also great. We are resilient," Brennan said.
The power was out for several hours but has come back.
The road is closed and it's expected to be closed for a while.
