I agree that churches can be the most poorly lit locations to shoot and I have found that my Panasonic DVX 100A shoots some it’s best footage in low light situations. The color saturation cannot be beat. You want to aim for someone with an untrained eye thinking the video looks beautiful, but they don’t know why. That’s how you’ll know you’ve hit the nail on the head.
Also, There are many production houses that rent out various procumer cameras for a reasonably day rate. If you are really torn about which one to buy, rent a few and try them out. When you shoot with it and watch the footage in post you’ll know which camera was the right choice for you.
