I think this is the best approach.

The church building would usually have a name, a start date.

Each congregation would then be a node with operator/denomination, 
opening_times etc.

The church building usually carries the name. The congregations would 
simply be meeting at this church.

If it is mapped this way then both of them operate the complex - which 
would you complain to about a collapsed tree?

I think one of them would have over all control and that can be mapped 
on the grounds, without a name? Don't want too many names in the same 
place - confuses the render?
