I've been at the Cove, and the Charlotte BGEA HQ kilted with no negative reaction whatsoever. Billy Graham lives in Montreat, NC - Tartan Hiker is the kilted ranger of Montreat, Montreat has a pipe band (MadBagPiper is a member) and Montreat College (my alma mater) with strong ties to the Presbyterian Church and very deep Scots heritage. So I sincerely doubt you'll have any negative reaction to the kilt - at least from ministry staff members. You'll probably get lots of looks and double takes, though, but likely not worse than anywhere else.
As for your spiritual values and beliefs, I don't know what kind of reaction you'll get to that should you choose to share.
Let us know how it goes.

If only I had a nickle for every time a tourist asked me where Billy's house is, I bet I could buy three Tewksburys!

related to the original question:
I'd say if you have a "STAFF" t-shirt or one with your company name on it, go with that. Then everyone will know you're working the gig and not there as a concert-goer.
unrelated to the original question, but:
The senior Rev. Graham (Billy) owns a kilt in one of the Graham tartans. He either bought or was given it many years ago on one of his UK trips. I heard him speak at the Kirkin' in Montreat a few years ago and he described wearing it "privately".

When given a choice, most people will choose.
