My wife was paid $850 for fill in musician at church. Do we have to file a schedule C?

This was for 5 different Sundays during the year.

Yes, this is considered self employment income.  She may have expenses that are allowed to be used such as mileage.  If the expenses reduce the income to less than $400, then she will not have self employment tax on the earnings.
