Area firefighters work at the scene of a fire at Calvary Baptist Church in Williamsport Wednesday evening. The fire severly damaged the church that broke out around 8pm and was officially reported as under control at 9:53. “The age of the building, the combustability of the timbers in the structure. This is just a nightmare,” Woodruff, himself a volunteer for several years, said. The structure is about 135 years old, he said. DAVE KENNEDY/Sun-Gazette

The investigation continues into the cause of the fire at Calvary Baptist Church in Williamsport.

Central Baptist Church, at the corner of Memorial and Seventh Avenues, has opened their doors to Calvary Baptist members according to Howard Woodruff, Calvary Baptist pastor.

“We will worship there for the foreseeable future. Our times of Sunday events will remain the same with Sunday school starting at 9:30 a.m. and church beginning at 10:40 a.m.,” Woodruff added.

The congregation will worship at Central Baptist Church until repairs can be made to the Fellowship Hall of Calvary Baptist. The sanctuary will be rebuilt as well, according to Woodruff.

Anyone with questions can call the church office at 570-322-7256.
