LAGRANGE—Storms that swept through Fayette County on May 3 seriously damaged two LaGrange churches.
Justin Lopez, discipleship pastor at First Baptist Church in LaGrange, reported his church’s new property was hit by a tornado.
In a video posted on the church’s Facebook page, Lopez reported “significant damage” to the property from a tornado. The video showed a pavilion destroyed by the high winds, as well as major roof and water damage to the church’s main building.
No church personnel were at the property when the storm hit.
