A DeKalb County church has been struck by thieves -- four times in four weeks, according to a report from WSB-TV.

Burglars have hit the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross on South Columbia Place taking everything from the church's sound system to TVs, printers, computers and speakers, the Rev. Brian Jemmot told WSB.

They also emptied barrels of food donations and took two microwaves from the church's kitchen, WSB said.

"I think the folks who are doing this may not believe in God," Jemmot told WSB. "They don't think this is a sacred space."

The church's security system has been turned off because construction workers were working on a part of the church, WSB said. The security system has since been turned back on, WSB said.

Jemmot told WSB he hopes that burglars back off.
