So you really have three guitars. Is the acoustic player playing bass note strum, or just strumming? If he just strums, one electric can do bass strum and other more decorative or fills. Stay out of each others part of the neck. If one person plays down in the lower part of the range, the other can play just the middle and top strings higher up. Or swap off rhythm and fills with each verse, or on the chorus. Make the other guy play more steel, with nice pads.

With two guitars, sounds like a good chance to play some harmonized lines, like playing intros by playing the melody of the last line of the verse or chorus, harmonized. That is a lot of fun, and very cool sounding. On Gospel, you might want to do that as instrumental breaks, playing a whole verse that way.
