I'm the most-time soundman at our church, and I've picked up some interesting little tidbits through my work. A huge part of it is that, as Sam said, "We are here to not so much provide, but to help the congregation worship. We aren't here to make all the musicians happy and give them a chance to perform." The hardest part of that is when people who can't sing very well get up on stage. I really don't want to just cut them out completely, but I have to view it from the viewpoint of trying to get rid of distractions. That means cutting the people out, but then I have to face them and they wonder why I cut them out of the mix.
Oh, and remember that you always want to drive the bass, drums, and vocals a lot. It gives the best results. *grins*
