If I had to do this, I'd get an omni tube as the room mic getting the numerous, hopefully nice reflections of the church's walls, a stereo ribbon or a couple to set up closer to the duo and one mic per guitar to add more or less presence, depending on the songs if necessary. In my case, those mics would be two Coles 4038 (my favourite for nylon strings), but two R-84 would be as cool (and a bit less boomy too...)
No rule as for mic placement in churches IMO, I've never ever heard two of those having the same acoustic characteristics, that's why they are a great field of experimentation for music recording !...
Check phase as you place the mics, no compression required, and the way you've worked on your microphones setup will lead your final mix... (a HP filter at 60-70 on the close mics might be the only EQ needed if the guitars and the room are nice)
Have fun !!!...
