A 29-year-old Cape Cod man is facing an arson charge for setting the fire that destroyed a church in Brewster Friday, authorities said.

Adam Finnegan, of Brewster, allegedly set fire to the Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church at 3 a.m. Friday, according to State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan, whose office is leading the investigation. The 25-year-old church building on Main Street was consumed by the fast-spreading, three-alarm blaze that broke out just before 3 a.m. Friday.
