Facing Aftermath of Church Fire
A church community left scrambling for a place to hold worship after a devastating fire in Gulfport. Gulfport police arrested 22 year old Caleb DeAndre Bell after the Hillside Baptist Church on Robinson Road went up in flames Saturday morning. Bell is charged with arson and burglary. Authorities say bell broke into the side-door of the church, stole church property and allegedly lit the fire to cover his tracks. The pastor of the Gulfport Church says Bell was a member at Hillside Baptist. The pastor says the church was planning on re-modeling. But now that the church is completely destroyed, they will start from the ground up. He says there has already been a lot of support from the community.
