I'm a member of a PCUSA church. Our choir has about twenty-five members, and is accompanied by a small ensemble, two clarinets, one each violin, flute, bassoon, trombone, and trumpet.
The publisher of our hymnal, Word Music, has a orchestrated the music and parts are available for everyone. The arrangements are not too difficult. My guess is that most high school players could do them comfortably. In any event, we play along with the organist and choir and are well received.
Separately, there is a Praise Ensemble that leads a monthly praise music service. The group has a piano, trumpet, two guitars, bass, and three vocalists. The folks that come to that service are quite enthusiastic, but small in numbers.
