Thank you.

Hey David, if I were in your situation here's what I would do:

1. Look around at the other worship groups you like and notice if they use electric or acoustic. (That way you can train for the job you want.)

2. Ask yourself which you like the most, because it will keep you motivated.

Then, I'd learn both. :) Because very few people only play one or the other. So many of the basic skills apply to any guitar you pick up.

But I'm no expert on that specific genre, it's just general guitar advice.

If you're asking which you should buy to start learning, acoustics can generally be much harder to play because of the string guage, height, and tension. But it's great training because once you have the strength to play an acoustic, an electric will be that much easier.
