Hymns, church music, whatever you want to call it has historically been "of its time". Doesn't it figure the first hymns written would have been "Contemporary Christian"? It makes sense that drums, electric guitar and bass have found their way into worship.
I think you run the risk of never-ending legalities when you say no to electric instruments. What's next? No PA for the pastor (you could argue "ego trip"), no robes for the choir, no electric lights in the sanctuary. How about no computers involved with the church whatsoever? How about no women involved in church?
The first piano used in church probably caused a few heads to turn yet today it is a vital ingredient.
