Ezra Marino is charged with arson to a place of worship.

The Ivy Bluff United Methodist church burned to the ground early Monday morning. Pastor Danny Freeman told partner station WMSR that a passerby saw the fire and called authorities. Freeman said the near 80 members lost the 64-year-old building but not the church.

Marino is in jail with a 150 thousand dollar bond.
