Be yourself. Laughter is always the best ice breaker. Make a few jokes or laugh at yourself and any shyness you have will dissapear. Clearly your friends at school like the outgoing personality you have, so bring that same enthusiam to your church group. Another way to battle shyness is to show dedication to whatever activity you are doing, and through that any barriers you have will fall. Become active in the group and soon you'll be the same outgoing and likeable person you are everywhere else.
Once again, I find the key to getting rid of that intial akwardness in new groups is laughter, so crack a joke or two or make some random observation and soon enough you'll be laughing at the fact you were ever nervous at all.
