If a social media agency or consultant offers to Tweet on your behalf or otherwise provide your "voice" in the conversation with your customers, walk out of the meeting immediately. Of course, they should provide you with guidance, strategy, tactics, tools, support, etc. to help target and optimise your social media efforts.

Facebook is obviously very powerful for faith / cause related organization like yours. I would start with a blog and use it as a syndication hub with the a few targeted social media networks.

I have invested a lot of energy over the last couple years "leveraging my core competency and outsourcing everything else." Where is a good place to start to strike a balance thinking about bringing some of this closer to home? Thanks! This makes a lot of sense.
