Firefighters initially tried to attack the fire from inside the building, but were eventually pushed back by heat and thick smoke.
It took crews several hours to extinguish the fire, which left the 75-year-old church gutted.
RCMP and fire investigators said they hoped to be able to get a closer look at the wreckage on Tuesday.
