Members of the Onondaga Nation of New York held a makeshift service on Sunday, vowing to rebuild a church that was destroyed by fire.
Wesleyan Chapel lost everything in the fire, pastor Sandy Sinesi said. "God has shown us the ministry is far greater than a building," he said at the service, The Syracuse Post-Standard reported. "We don't need a building to praise Him."
Two teens have been arrested in connection with the fire and another one at another Onondaga church.
