This situation seems to be spiraling to the point of drawing and quartering the church members.
We have no idea at what level the OP is, is this a student observing what is going on from one perspective or is the OP the School official responsible for this arrangement.
If it was intentional stealing then the items would not "show up later"
If they are there available for "use" which I would guess is the case and there is a very loose arrangement based on the School and the Church I would still say that this is unintentional and again very likely where there are well meaning church members helping out and have no clue as to what is or is not the churches and probably innocently think that what is being used is the churches. and on the other end the person using these items probably has no idea that they are NOT supposed to use them. IF in fact they are NOT, I have seen situations where a well intentioned person way down the chain of command sees a situation totally out of context and jumps to a conclusion where the "higher ups" have a totally different perspective on the situation
SO:
From my perspective, if you have a facility and you allow others to use the facility and you have readily available various items, they are likely to be used and the typical "user" has no distinction between using the house PA or the House Lighting instruments and Using Mics and Cables.
If the church is NOT supposed to use these items and is supposed to bring all their own gear, THEN from one perspective it is the Schools responsibility to have the items stored so as not to be readily available.
If this is the case, then the question becomes, is it the church that is at fault for "borrowing items innocently" or is it the schools fault for leaving the items around.
So is it "the church stealing things" from the description I would say not likely. Items that are stolen tend to be gone forever and not re appear
