If you don't care much, besides getting light, you can look for some free or cheap used instruments, something like the 1KL6 lamped with an FEL (1000W) would get you a lot of bang for your buck.
I might get ostracized for this comment, but if you really are looking for just light, and are not using color, shutter cuts, gobos or anything, you might be able to get some cheap 360Qs and throw an FEL lamp in there. These instruments were not designed for that amount of heat, so it will surely damage it overtime, but if the price was right, it might work as a temporary measure.

I would not throw FEL's in anything in a church. Churches are the one stop place for turnkey installation. Usually when they buy a piece of gear it gets installed and moved maybe once in its lifetime. Sure... many mega-churches might hand a different show each week, but in general it gets put up there and forgotten. For
theatre, you can SOMEWHAT get away with FEL's, in a church you will just have to go fix it in 2 months.
Pretty good otherwise.
