Most of what people tell you about immigration is not true.

You need to see an immigration lawyer to review your situation and determine what options, if any, that you have.

From your post, it doesn't appear that you are eligible to apply for anything. What do you plan to apply for? Churches can not and should not advise with immigration matters.

No, there is no legalization program for those who came on J1 visa and overstayed.

If you are married to a US citizen, then yes, it could be possible to apply for a green card through adjustment of status -- provided that you are eligible and not subject to 2-year home residency requirement under your J-1 visa.
