Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I filed suit and obtained a $4000 judgement against a church in small claims court. It has been more than thirty days and they have not paid and refuse to even discuss this with me. I have been looking into different options. Is a writ of attachment( writ for keeper) that allows the sheriff to collect sales proceeds possible against a church? I live in Los Angeles,CA and this is where the church is located.

It is available if the church has any retail operations, such as a thrift store. Most church stores, however, are run by affilated volunteer organizations and not the church directly even if they are on church grounds. You can't attach those sales. More likely to be effective would be a writ of attachment on their bank accounts.
