The TOS Church and Conference Center find their van melted and front entrance spray-painted on Friday morning.

A German ministry was vandalized early Friday by an anonymous group. The vandals set the church van on fire and painted the front doors sometime during the night. A congregation member noticed the fire after hearing a loud pop. The town's emergency services were able to contain the blaze that morning. A video posted to the TOS Facebook page shows the van smouldering after the fire was put out.

TOS Church and Conference Center in Tübingen found their doors spray-painted purple and the remains of their church van. They estimate that 40,000 euros worth of damage was done to the property. 

The church says they have been experiencing threats for the past few months and believe they are being targeted for their evangelical practices. Boris Bittner, the church founder, says the church has been exposed to threats for the past several months.

"The atmosphere is becoming more and more intolerant towards and aggressive," says Bitner.

The church has 13 other congregations across the world but the Tübingen location was the only one targeted.

"The attack is cowardly and despicable. Even if no people have been harmed, I very much hope that perpetrators will be held accountable," says Tübingen Mayor Boris Palmer in a Facebook statement.

The church reopened on Wednesday for their church and Channuka services after their community gave their assistance cleaning up the building.

German authorities are currently investigating the incident.
