Faith Lutheran Church in Cambridge caught fire Sunday, just hours after Easter mass.
The Cambridge Fire Department responded to the multi-alarm fire at Faith Lutheran Church on Broadway shortly before 5:30 p.m.
Firefighters initially made an interior attack, but were forced to withdraw after smoke filled the church.
Firefighters evacuated nearby residents from a time, for fear the steeple would collapse. Ultimately, the steeple survived.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
