I read it as “church” too, as in a place of worship. Since the title did not follow the general rule of capitalizing every word in a title, that changes things. Writing “Church’s”, making it a possessive, proper noun, is capitalized in this instance, making it correct, as the word “church” is not capitalized normally, unless it is the first word in a sentence.

Had all the words in the title been capitalized, which is normally accepted usage, it would have been even more confusing.

English teacher and writer?? Who does your proofreading? I know, 'spellcheck' on your phone. ;-)
