html5 microdata markup using Schema.org

I am working on a site of a christian church. It has a page with schedule list and house churches list which I want to mark up using Schema.org microdata. The thing is I cannot find appropriate type to describe these items. For schedule I decided to go for http://Schema.org/Event type, however I need to add contact person name and phone but which property of Event can I use for that? I used "performer" property, but that is not really it...

<div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Event">
    <span class="time"><time itemprop="startDate" datetime="2012-07-02T19:00:00">19:00</time></span>
    <h2 class="colored" itemprop="name">Worship Group</h2>
    <strong>Address:</strong> <a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank" class="dashed" title="See on the map"><span itemprop="location">St. Patric 42</span></a>
    <br><strong>Contacts:</strong>
    <span itemprop="performer" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
    <span itemprop="telephone">8-422-212-5532</span> (<span itemprop="name">John Parker</span>)</span>
    <span itemprop="description">We want to worhip God together</span>
</div>

As for a house church - it's something between an Organization and Event - it's a group of believers getting together at a place at a certain time. I decided to go for http://schema.org/Organization, added ContactPoint as church leader contacts info. But how can I mark start time?

Is there any way to combine entity types so that I could describe all important properties I have?

First part of your question:

For schedule I decided to go for http://Schema.org/Event type, however I need to add contact person name and phone but which property of Event can I use for that?

You're spot on using an Event for your schedules. You could of course be a bit more precise and and use an extension of Event to be more precise as itemtype.

When you wish to specify a contact person as a performer I'm a bit unsure. I would rather flip your thinking around and not specify a contact person but instead specify the events as upcoming or past events associated with the organization. The organization then has a contact point that will go for all the events.

<div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization/ReligiousGroup">
  <div itemprop="location" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Church">
    ...
  </div>

  <div itemprop="contactPoint" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
    ...
  </div>

  <div itemprop="events" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Event">
    ...
  </div>

  <div itemprop="events" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Event">
    ...
  </div>

  <div itemprop="events" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Event">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Or more simple described with YAML:

--- 
Organization/ReligiousGroup:
  location : Church
  contactPoint : Person
  events : 
    - Event
    - Event
    - Event

You can extend Organization to ReligiousGroup to be more precise of the item.

Read more about extending here: http://www.schema.org/docs/extension.html

Now the final part of your question:

As for a house church - it's something between an Organization and Event - it's a group of believers getting together at a place at a certain time.

A group of people getting together at a place at a certain time is an Event.
