Comments and suggestions for possible improvements would be greatly appreciated.

Nicely done.
Nice focal length choice
NIce angle
Nice post processing
Nice choice to backlight at the trees...
I just wish you'd have posted this full size (check the "store original" box when you post)
And the horizon looks a bit tilted to the left.
A comment for improvement would be this: You've got a GREAT location...great time of day...now you need some element to elevate it to another level...person silhouette, animal, or something creating a "moment"....you know...maybe a silhouette of two people holding hands....I don't know...
I was only thinking about it because i was watching a video of a street shooter who said..."when you find a great location, and great light, you can come back to it...and keep coming back until something happens in that scene to elevate it to a great shot"
Make sense?

I like the shot. I think I see too much green which is taking over the photo. Love the sun just starting to come through the trees in the back. Love the warmth of the sky, so I think I would crop some of the grass off the front and be happy with this wonderful photo.

Nice shot, I would prefer to crop out some of the grass bring out more detail on the church.

I tried to level the horizon but this just made the church look tilted.

Do you have Photoshop or Photoshop elements?
You can do it in either.
In Photoshop CS6 you use the "Perspective crop" tool and in Elements you use the "fix camera distortion" tool.
Would you mind if I took a shot at it?

That's ok if you want to copy it.
I straightened it, fixed the distortion, and cropped the grass at the 1/3 line (my preference)
