Tell the truth. So many things seem to have different names in a church.
The platform is never a stage, the sermon is never a seminar, the service is
never a show, the worship leader is never a MC, singing in front of people
with a pre-recorded song track is never Karaoke... Just to name a few.

It's never Karaoke? It is now! That's what I'm going to start calling
it: Church Karaoke.

Actually, though, at my church we do use many of those terms. The stage
is a stage. The sermon is actually usually a "talk". The worship leader
and the pastor and the guy doing announcements are all listed under
the "MC" column on the cue sheet. We don't have a term for singing in
front of people with prerecorded music because it never, ever happens[1].
It's virtually one of the founding principles of the church. :-)
