How well do you know her? Is there already some rapport? If so, then the phone wouldn't be all that crazy. If you really only know her in a polite way, the phone call would be jarring. "Oh, Peter? From church? Um, hi.."
I think it'd be much better to just talk to her next time you see her, don't push too hard and definitely approach with the mental state that you don't expect much. After some light chitchat, just throw it out there... offer to buy her coffee down the street or whatever. Talking to her away from church is the objective now. It's friendly and casual and is just for fun. See if you like her as much as you think you might. Be mindful to show interest in what she's saying and ask questions to show this. Try to ignore cleavage (if any). Chances are she'll appreciate all this and start dropping hints if she's also into you. Do not feel bad if she's got plans and turns you down. If she's got interest, she'll offer a raincheck.
