POTTSTOWN, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — Flames ripped through an abandoned church in Pottstown, Montgomery County, early Friday morning. Some neighbors had to be evacuated.

The fire broke out after 6 a.m. at the former home of Invictus Ministries, located at Hanover and Chestnut streets.

Church officials said on social media that they are not affected as that is their old building, and they are praying for everyone involved.

Neighbors said this was one of the oldest churches in Pottstown, and it closed about two years ago.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
