Centro Cristiano de Columbia Church Pastor Henry Alfaro said the lights were dim and people were praying when the man waved his gun and demanded money around 6:15 a.m.
Alfaro says the wounded man had surgery and remains in the hospital. His condition wasn't immediately known.
Alfaro told WLTX-TV the man fired in the air, then shot a church member before his gun appeared to stop working and he ran from the church in the Columbia suburb of Forest Acres.
Forest Acres Police say the man got into a car and drove off. He hasn't been identified.
It wasn't immediately clear how many people were at the service.
