Good article, a few pointers
I concur with Kenneth. There is definitely a tendency for the singers (in particular) to sing louder during the 'real thing' than they do in sound check - sometimes markedly so. Watch out and use your judgement during sound check as to whether they are singing like they will during the service.Also, if you have to err when setting trim/gain, err on the low side. A little noise is better than clipping any day. Another good rule of thumb - Unless there is clipping on a channel, don't touch the trim once the performance has started because you are affecting everything in that signal path including the monitors. You might be turning the monitors down where the band can't hear or blowing them off the stage! If repeated clipping is occurring, I would turn it down anyway. If you are careful, you can adjust the aux sends to compensate to keep the monitor levels constant. However, if an input is clipping after having been set during sound check, the monitor is probably too loud anyway.

An excellent article
This article is an excellent tutorial for beginning sound technicians; I would recommend it to churches to use for training their volunteer sound operators. I am the owner of a sound/video system design and installation business (Studio 2000 Sound and Electronics,) and I also serve as sound technician at Lakeside Church in McMurray, PA.Here are a couple more tips from my own experience in live sound: When setting the channel gain trims, hit the PFL (or SOLO) button; on most consoles this connects the VU meters to that channel's signal. Adjust gain so the meter goes over 0 VU only on the loudest peaks. If you use the channel clip indicators to set gain, you won't have even half the headroom needed for a "hot" female vocalist. (Lakeside has a soloist who can jump 10 dB in an instant when reaching for a high note.) If you are only 3 to 6 dB below clipping to begin with, the peaks will be badly distorted. Also, if you set the gains in rehearsal be prepared to find everything 6-10 dB higher during the actual worship service. It is purely psychological, but performers and worship leaders are a little more "up" when an audience is there. A note about pre/post-fader buttons for aux sends: Some consoles make the "pre" setting pre-fader, post-EQ while others make the "pre" setting pre-fader, pre-EQ. Better consoles (Allen & Heath, among others) have internal jumpers to configure the operation of the pre/post button on a channel-by-channel basis. Check your manual.
