The pastor of Buford’s First Pentacostal Church says the church will be holding services at the Buford Church of God until his church, which was destroyed by fire Thursday night, can be rebuilt.
Copeland also reflected Friday on the church’s rich history, noting that he grew up in the church, which his father, who died last year, pastored for 30 years.
The building once housed the First Baptist Church of Buford and dates to the 1930s.
