Jean,
I would consider scouting out the church (or a church) prior to the shoot. They often times have some interesting windows and interesting light. I would scout the light indoors.
You may also consider hiring a photographer to do the shoot. Meet with him prior to the shoot and describe your purpose. There's no law that says it has to be your camera and you have to pull the trigger. Of course you would have an understanding regarding the ownership of the images.
When the time comes you can spend your time directing the scene, checking for all the little details of hands, hair, etc., and leave the technical stuff to the pro.
As Michele said, make sure he understands that you need a close-up of each full composition.
