Re: Would like to install a fence beyond our property.

The Church could grant an easement to you and put stipulations in there about maintenance, insurance, liability, etc. Ultimately, the property owner would get named in a suit if there was an injury and then contractually, they would come after you perhaps. You need to go see a real estate attorney.
