How big is the sanctuary, and on the average how many people attend? Also, is 
the piano to be used as the only source of music for the cogregation, or 
primarily to accompany the choir? Is this a "fundamental" church, with lots 
of loud music, and the piano is "banged", or a conservative church, where the 
piano is played? 

All of this can make a big difference in the type and size of piano to 
recommend.
