The wording on the deed you mentioned is very critical........ If it was specifically for a church use (Deeded to so n so provided or for so long as a church is there etc etc) and such no longer exists, theres a good chance the land reverts back to the owner or his successors in title and an action to quiet title would be relatively easy. However if it was just a deed that just happened to be to the Church of Billy Bob its much harder for the owner to ever get it back absent adverse posession. Regardless, it would take an action to quiet title and such requires some good evidence and history etc and wont be cheap even if from a country lawyer. In the meantime I would openly exercise control and dominion over the property by mowing and maintaining it just as if it were your own and keep good records and a diary which will help someday in an adverse posession action. This assumes it was sold fee simple ie including mineral rights ie they were NOT retained by the Grantor in the deed
