Probably not.

NFPA 1 "Hazard of Contents" are defined as High (with 5 levels), Ordinary or Low.

The only occupancies that have "low" rating are those primarily for storage of non-combustibles. A church is primarily an assembly occupancy and could not be rated as "low hazard", based upon the risks to numerous human occupants.

Types of occupancies other than "storage", even if incidentally storing non-combustibles, would qualify as an "ordinary" hazard, under the theory that some combustible materials will be introduced or hazardous operations conducted, or some psychological factor introduced in case of any fire or other emergency, thus requiring at least "ordinary" fire prevention and means of egress.

Is the NFPA 704M system a federal law?

NFPA codes are enacted selectively, in possibly amended forms, by each state. Similarly, different federal agencies may adopt their own standards or use NFPA standards. For example, OSHA has its own Hazard Communication System (HCS) that is completely different from NFPA 704, using pictograms, being phased in as of December 2013. USDOT also has its own standard for HAZMAT labels (e.g., orange, red, green, yellow, striped, with code numbers and code symbols).
