Is church considered nfpa light hazard?
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.
Sprinkler coverage area for extra hazard heads?
Extra hazard occupancies require densities of either 0.30 gpm/sq ft or 0.40 gpm/sq ft, for which the maximum head layout is 100 sq ft per NFPA 13. There are some sprinkler heads in the market that allow coverages up to 196 sq ft with a special listing. Tyco EC-25 and EC-17, and Reliable MBEC-14 are some of the heads that can be used with certain restrictions.

Is it mandatory to enforce NFPA 13 for insurance?
NFPA 13 only applies to specific types of occupancies and the requirements for enforcement would depend upon the "authority having jurisdiction", local ordinances, and state fire codes. Compliance with such codes is frequently a pre-requisite for obtaining insurance. On the other hand, other facilities may have different requirements (e.g., NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R), or the code may modify the NFPA 13 or NFPA 25 requirements (e.g., NFPA 101 chapter 33 modifications for NFPA 13R in "existing residential board and care facilities"). Your local fire marshal and insurance company will help you with specific requirements.
What NFPA standard addresses fire inspections?
There are over 360 NFPA codes and standards, which provide the basis for inspection under various circumstances. NFPA 1031 addresses the professional qualifications of those who carry out fire inspections and plans reviews. Locally enacted statutes and ordinances often adopt the Life Safety Code and National Fire Code (or equivalent) as the legal requirements for fire inspections. Individual sections of those codes would be the source of the inspection requirements pertinent to a particular type of occupancy or hazard, with reference to the general requirements for all hazards and specific other codes and standards for particular situations. For example, Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) Chapter 15 contains the "life safety" requirements for "existing educational occupancies" with reference to Chapter 9 for fire protection equipment, which references NFPA 10, the standard for fire extinguishers, which references Underwriter's Laboratories and other industrial standards for manufacturing and testing the actual devices. Similarly, NFPA 1, the National Fire Code, contains fire prevention requirements for all sorts of hazards and occupancies, with reference to other codes and standards for specific criteria.
