I think your choice is between these three: http://www.creativelive.com/courses/jasmine_star http://www.creativelive.com/courses/wedding-workshop-zach-and-jody-gray http://www.creativelive.com/courses/wedding-photography-joe-buissink
Were it me I'd likely go for the first, Ms. Star. It's also 5 days worth and covers the most specifics. Watch the sample footage and see if you like how the instructor works. Some of them turn me right off and I can't watch. Every one is different. Some are so good I can't stop watching, even though I generally dislike videos. While they're all aimed at a full-time pro wedding biz, there are lots of tips and techniques for shooting in churches, the key moments to watch for (ring exchange; bride preps, etc.).
