When firefighters searched the rubble, they said the Bibles were not burned and crosses were not damaged by the flames, WVNS reported.
The Coal City Fire Department posted a photo of what they said was found in what was left in the burned-out church.
The heat from the flames was so intense, firefighters said they had to leave the structure, and they expected to find nothing salvageable when they got back inside, WLKY reported.
Church officials vow to rebuild.
