Problem:

Perform a conditional action based on the user role based on the user name that was provided in the URL.

Solution:

In order to get this done I would recommend the use of a custom shortcode.

To get the user role from the user name in the url you can use the shortcode below.

// Add Shortcode
function wp_get_user_role( $atts ) {
  
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'username' => '',
        ),
        $atts
    );
  
    $user_meta=get_user_by('login',$atts['username']);
      
    $user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    return $user_roles[0];
  
}
add_shortcode( 'wp_get_user_role', 'wp_get_user_role' );

The shortcode is used like this
[wp_get_user_role username=' [wpv-search-term param='church']']

Where you can use the [wpv-search-term param='url-param'] to get the username from the param.

From there you can add this shortcode to the conditional statement.
