70 db for speaking or music?
I could not imagine running our music less than 70dbs if that is what you are suggesting. What sounds like a comfortable level for our speaker tensd to be around 66-70 dbs. I would imagine the drums alone would put us over 70dbs and then to mix everything in well. We usually run 85-90 dbs during more energetic music and then 83-85 on slower songs. If we were to go any lower the mix would be way out of balance and our drummer would have to playing air.

Talking or music and all?
when you say less than 70db for church volume are you meaning for when the pastor is speaking? Because that is about what a comfortable volume is to hear him well and about what we run his microphone at. I could not imagine running the band that low, however. I would think that the drums alone would get us to 70dbs. The whole congregation clapping would get us over that level. We run our sound at between 85-90dbs for the faster songs and the slower tend to be 80-85. I know most of my worship leader friends run it more toward 95-100, still not as loud as a rock concert, but loud. They also have a lower demographic than us.

Agree and ?
When we train at churches we also add that like a musician has an instrument that they physically use to worship, our instrument is the mixer and associated gear to offer to God as an act of worship. Beginners of course will concentrate on the technical more but as they gain experience, like a musician who worships with their instrument, they can worship through the mix and sound they are part of creating.

Wow
Awesome article. What amazes me is how God led me to this article. I am going through a trial right now and while I was responding to prayer the Lord gave me Habakkuk 3:17-19. I love this scripture. No matter what is going on around us the name of the Lord is to be praised. I then typed in Habakkuk 3:17-19 and clicked "images" on Google. Low and behold on page 2, third row down on the right is Debbie Barnett with Habakkuk 3:17-19 below her name. It has been six years since I last saw Debbie. We used to go to church together. As a matter of Fact, Debbie was on my mind the other day- God is a Great and Mighty God- He deserves all our praise. I love you Debbie- God reminded me of the angel I gave you at New Horizons Christian Church. The bonds that were created and the praises we sang to our God will always be fresh in my mind- and the way you got down on the bongos during "Blessed be the name of our Lord" is always a reminder in my heart when I hear that song on the radio. Praise God for how far he has brought each of us. Keep serving the Lord- He's coming soon sister!¢¾

Performing
I struggle with this all the time. I really enjoy performing and that is probably a major reason why I am involved with worship music. I pray for the right motivation, but in the "heat" of playing, it is really hard to get my ego out of the way. I do feel like I can transcend myself often when playing and maybe those are times when my ego is out of the way.

80dBA?!?
There's absolutely no way we could run our worship at 80dBA in our contemporary services. We'd lose half our people in a month. It's a young, contemporary, energetic church, and we target about 90-92dBA for full-out music from the band, with brief peaks up to 95-97 at times. 80dBA is probably about right for our "blended" semi-traditional service, but to say that 80dBA would work for an energetic contemporary service is just plain silly. Stage volume from the snare drum alone would be in that range, I think.

Thanks, Ross
Ross, this is a great insight that I find very challenging. I believe that one weakness in the modern praise and worship movement is an over emphasis of God's immanence at the expense of His transcendence. Thank you for so eloquently expressing this. Your leadership has been a real inspiration to me. Thanks again for your transparency and honesty.
