I own Church Audio mics and battery box. I need more than this?

Do any of us need any of the gear we have?   
What you have is fine for recording live music.  Whether or not you are satisfied with the end result is all up to your own ears.

Well if your recording volume is still too low, an extra amplifier could help.... I myself have an ST-9100 from Chris.
It really all depends on what you are trying to record. I had the opposite problems (too loud) and had to buy another pair of mics that was less sensitive.

With the batter box alone you should be able to handle some loud situations using the CA mics.  A battery box does not amplify the signal coming into the mics.  That's why if you try to record anything soft with no preamp the levels will be very low.  If you are going to record anything acoustic you will need a good preamp.  I'll brag on the SP preamp I have only because I've used it and know how well it works, but I do want a CA preamp eventually.

amplify or normalize your "silent" recording in post.
of course +20dB gain result in a louder recording than +15dB, but i guess AGC-safety will decrease levels anyway (to avoid clipping) unless you are taping some acoustical stuff.
using church cards or similar low-sens modded mics might NOT result in decreased levels by AGC-safety as no clipping might occur.
