My thoughts are that you would wind up spending a lot more turning an old church into a home than you would spend for a house that meets your criteria.

However, if you are really interested in turning the church into a home, enlist the services of a designer or architect to draw up some plans. That way you can A) get a picture of what it would come out like, and B) get a cost estimate for doing the turn. I am not sure how much that would cost, but it would be far cheaper than buying the building then getting into the design and finding out the cost when it is too late to back out.

Also, for what it is worth, I have often thought about buying an old church and making it into a home. The auditorium would make a great practice room.
