Our church requires all security team members (even off duty LEO) to conceal carry while onsite. I have a level 2 OWB holster for when I can wear something like a jacket. But, in the Texas summer heat, that's not always possible. So, I have a level 1 IWB holster I can cover with a shirt. Can you even get a level 2+ IWB holster?

No. I would not wear an IWB holster for security either. OWB is much more retainable. Find a cover shirt that will cover that gun up. Is it hot? Yes. That's the price we pay for protecting the flock.
After some research, I think I may have come up with a solution. If your church requires formal attire, then a light blazer may be your best choice. However, if you attend a more casual, come-as-you-are church, then cargo pants (or even shorts if that's alright) and a Guayabera shirt. It's the kind of shirt most men wear in places like Cuba, where it's hot all the time. These shirts are specifically designed to be worn untucked and are light, cool, and comfortable. Plus, the vertical lines that distinguish these shirts do a good job of breaking up and printing you may have with an OWB holster.
