The Forest Home Church of the Nazarene in Jonesboro, Arkansas, was destroyed in a fire early Thursday morning.

The fire was reported around 3 a.m. by drivers passing by the church. Jonesboro police at the scene said no one was injured. City Fire Marshal Jason Wills declared the building a total loss.

A cause has not been determined.

"Between the Jonesboro Fire Marshal's office, state police, and Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF), we're gonna get everything we can to get it figured out," Wills told KAIT 8.

Forest Home Pastor Ken Stallings told KAIT 8 the situation was heartbreaking.

"[It's] one of the most sickening sights you'll ever see, to see your church burning down," he said.

The church is not alone in its time of need, however.

"We have received calls, emails, and contacts from people saying, 'How can we help?,'" Stallings told the news station. "We are grateful to the community for their response and their outpouring of love to us."

The church held a prayer service on Thursday night for the congregation.

"Our church 'building' may have burned to the ground but our church, Forest Home Church, stood tall, whole, complete, and without fret this evening," church member Chip Kelman wrote on Facebook after the service. "I am so proud of my brothers and sisters, our pastor, and our church leadership."

The service and board meeting were held at the nearby children and youth building, where services will be held temporarily.

"We're able to operate out of there a little bit," Stallings told KAIT 8. "And the plan was to someday do Phase Two up there. It could be that's a little sooner rather than later now, but certainly a lot to work through before that takes place."

Continued prayer is requested for the Forest Home church family.
