This points to what a bad idea it is to have a church own property. The value of the property makes the church a target for takeover

It's best to rent, and have the rent be paid out of the weekly contributions. If the church no longer can hold its people, then it's time to dissolve it, and let the people go to where their spiritual needs are better satisfied
