If the church is on a budget, I would suggest a Yamaha DP series set (around $600) or a Yamaha Stage Custom (around $900) set. A good Roland V drum set costs thousands of dollars and you need a good sound system.
If they want to spend around $400.00 for a bass, the fender standard Jazz or Precision are always a good choice. You get an American made body and neck and it is assembled in Mexico. It saves a lot of money but you get good quality. Yamaha also makes fine basses. When you have unlimited budget, there are many over $1000.00 instruments, but these are good general choices.
