Stan, I saw some stuff at Menards and Lowes that they used to coat cinder block walls with, then ran a hose and water to fill one, showing how it sealed and held water, while the untreated block leaked water. If a wall has good mortar, then perhaps so on the outside. But in Indiana, ours are typically coated with tar and then buried. Cinder blocks aren't used much anymore because they have a tendency to be prone to shifting ground, breaking up the mortar and causing leaks. My last house with a cinder block walled basement leaked as well when we first bought it, so hand dug up the walls/foundation down to the cement the blocks were setting on, cleaned it all and tarred the living heck out of it, buried it again. That was the mid to late '70's, house was built in '57. Fortunately every house since was poured walls, so far less to deal with.
Good luck, but I think you and the church guys are going to have to grab the shovels and... Be careful of digging into old gas lines, power, etc.
