This could not be easier because your church owns the land.  Even in our
case, where the church does not own the land, it was fairly easy to get an
insurance rider to cover the community garden which doesn't cost the church
an extra penny.  Since your church already owns the land, it probably
already has insurance on it and you might not have to do anything else.  

Of course, the church should check with its insurance carrier, but this
should not be a big deal at all.

Many, but it's not something the denominations promote -- it's an individual
church thing. Check out my sig below.
