Man supported by the Spanish church (6)
I believe the answer is:
chapel
'church' is the definition.
(I know that chapel is a type of church)
'man supported by the spanish' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'chap' (I've seen this in other clues).
'supported by' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters hold up others).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'chap'+'el'='CHAPEL'
(Other definitions for chapel that I've seen before include "service" , "Local printers" , "union group" , "Small building for worship" , "Branch of a newspaper trade union" .)
