If I weren't such a conspiracy nut, I'd say "climate change" is simply tyranny.
Surely they can run some extension cords and use electric heat if they don't want to do oil heat.
Big buildings, tall ceilings, ice cold plaster. It would take a lot of kilowatts to generate the btu's necessary to heat from dead cold to room temp for Sunday Services. They would have to start a few days ahead, and I assume heating with electricity would be 3x-4x more expensive than oil. Could be too much for the church to bear.
Where there is a will, there is usually a way. OTOH, officials may have shut those churches through winter months no matter how they try to heat them because muh climate change.
