(Christian Headlines) A church in the Canadian city of Surrey, British Columbia, was destroyed in a recent arson attack. This attack comes following a string of arson attacks on Canadian churches in recent months.

Steven Faltas, a board member at St. George Coptic Orthodox Church, received a phone call just after 3:30 am on July 19 notifying him that the church had been set on fire.

By 4:30 am, according to video footage shot by a neighbor, the church was completely engulfed in flames.

“When I got to our church, it was a very difficult scene,” Faltas told CBN News.
