The Reply-To is optional.  The Sender is incorrect as far as
mail standards are concerned, the real Sender was user(_at_)church

In this case, no - user(_at_)church was not directly involved in sending the 
email
at all.  They authorized service.example to send the email for them, so that
would not *have* to do it themselves.  

If service.example really was a gateway - say a webmail interface
for church.example, then you would Return-Path to be church.example,
and the SPF record for church should reflect that.
