If you're playing an acoustic, I would really recommend to stay away from any effects. At least to me, I rarely like anything on the acoustic... especially not chorus, as it is often very cheesy sounding. If you must have something though, I would second the idea of a delay pedal (much more versatile than chorus), or maybe even a light phaser or a tremolo. The sound guy should already be putting a touch of reverb on it if the venue is flat-sounding.

I've been playing with worship bands for 11 years and have gone through many phases myself---everything from relying on effects (acoustic and electric) to going completely minimalist. I think you're better off spending that money on a few lessons and concentrating on your playing.
