I797 Notice of approval what next?

My church applied for a change of status from F1 to R1. Just had back the I797A stating it has been approved. My wife got a similar notice for her R2.
If we want to leave the USA for any reason do we need a physical visa and if so how do we go about getting it? We're UK citizens.

many thanks,

Re-Physical Visa

After conflicting advise from USCIS, the Dept of State informed me that I had to reurn to the UK, follow the required visa pplication process, which involves getting an interview appointment ahead of time, filling out new D156 forms and also submtting a copy of the I129 documents supplied by my church. I was also advised to take an up to date letter from the Snr. Pastor detailing my current duties and responsibilites. I am in the process of corresponding with the UK to begin the process.
