Need advice for photography in a church

So I am going to be photographing in a church soon with okay lighting and need some advice on what film speed to use?

that says white balance problems and low light.

Use the fastest film you can and if necessary use the tripod. I like Kodak Portra 800 for color and the ISO 400 for black & white film, but depending on the lighting you may need to go to faster black & white films.
 
Hey @christislord What are you photographing in the Church? The walls? Stained glass? A bride and groom? A baptism? Knowing what the actual subject is would be helpful.

so I'm sure you realize that a slow shutter speed and tripod will be fantastic for stationary objects, but for people a 2 second exposure will likely result in a blurred bride and groom. I would really try to find some 1600 iso film if at all possible. You're shooting in some tricky conditions. Best of luck!

That is what I plan to do. Do you think I am crazy trying to get good photos with a Canon Sureshot 60?

yeah, kinda ... not the right camera for a wedding.

if it was me? id use a digital camera / dslr for everything and
take a few candid fun shots and bride groom portriats with the canon.
can't do a wedding over again, and seeing you are asking strangers
on a web forum if your camera is up to task and what film to use
i think it might be a disaster... seeing with the canon you won't know, until you get the film back.
