Congregants were reportedly singing at the Korean Union United Methodist Church in Rahway when they heard a cracking sound and debris began falling on them.
One person was seriously injured; about a dozen had minor injuries. The injured people reportedly were members of a separate congregation that rents out space at the church. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening.
It's not yet known what caused the collapse Sunday afternoon.
