More details to this question:
my wife attended a program held by the church on Sunday Jan 28th 2014. After the program while everyone were going to their cars in the parking lot she slipped on some ice that was not properly cleaned and broke her ankle in 3 different places. We went directly to the hospital but they told us they couldn't operate on it for 2 weeks until the swelling goes down. She's in constant pain and can't work for who knows how many months. Do we have a case against them?

Probably not because the church is a non-profit. If however, the church has a contract with an ice and snow removal company, you might be able to pursue something against the company that was supposed to clean up the parking lot.
