LEXINGTON, N.C. — Editor's Note: The video above is from a previous story about the Lexington church fire when it originally occurred.
A church that caught on fire in Lexington is being deemed as "suspicious", according to police.
The Lexington Fire Department said Jesus Comes First Ministries caught fire during the Lexington Barbeque Festival on Oct.28.
A large portion of smoke was visible during the fire, and a second alarm went off.
Lexington police said the origin of the fire was found to be on the back porch of the church.
The fire also left the church without a food pantry.
The door was blown off, parts of the foundation were charred and crates that held food were melted. The pantry has smoke, water, and electrical damage inside.
The daughter of the church's pastor Crissty Little said the pantry feeds hundreds of Davidson County families monthly.
"It's devastating to know that as much as we've done for the community to know that we're not going to be able to do that right now," Little said.
The Lexington Police Department said the investigation is still active.
