I am not sure whether you can adjust the white balance on the D40 but if you can, and you may have to go into the menus, you should set it on whatever type of lighting there is in the church.
Next you need a reasonable depth of field so I would go for maybe F5.6 assuming a standard lens. Then the speed needs to be faster than 1/30th if you are hand holding. You can set the ISO that will give you these settings in auto mode and set the camera to manual to retain the settings.
Hope this helps

PS I wouldn't go much above 1600 iso - rather increase aperture
Take the pictures outside the church with the sun.
Do the standard set of settups well in advance, bridesmades best man etc if you can.
For pics after the ceromony you have to take charge and order people around to get in the right places quickly as the next wedding will be along soon. Keep em tight!
Oh and I have done ONE wedding! so you are listening to an expert!!

Don't forget the spare batteries
Professional photographer arrived later than expected to our son's wedding. had to get spare batteries en route and they were needed.
I got talked into photographing a wedding last year. I can't help with your indoor settings as I just used the auto setting, but I do have the following advice.
1. Get somebody, the best man is good, to round up people for you. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time doing this.
2. Use a tripod, you will get much sharper pictures and (more importantly?) look the part.
3. Take lots of photographs, some of them are bound to be good.
4. Use the control which allows you to keep taking photographs for as long as you press the button, this is called continuous on my camera. Taking four shots at the same time means that at least one of them will have everybody with their eyes open.
