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

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".

Let me guess - a "Seeker friendly church"?

No matter what, mazel tov.

The
worship leader and the pastor and the guy doing announcements are all
listed under the "MC" column on the cue sheet.

Cue sheets don't count, they're for the insiders. ;-)

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. :-)

Good for you. Doing your own accompaniments for contemporary songs is one of
those things that you can do when you have a competent band.
