One bit of advice would be to aquaint your pastor with the scripture wherein Paul instructs Timothy: now bodily exercise profits little.
I spent over 25 years dealing with turf, and have come to the conclusion - most of it wouldn't exist if each person who uses it had to pay to maintain it, and personally do the mowing, fertilizing, thatching, aerating, and spraying for fungi, weeds, and insects.
Back to your problem. Eventually, the ruts you created will fill in. The material you disturbed is still on the ballfield. Get some volunteers with leaf rakes to put it back into the ruts. Re-seed, fertilize, water, and keep people, and equipment off of it until the new grass is established, or the existing sod has recovered.
