The ones I have seen stand with microphones (wireless) just behind and usually to the side of the song leader on the stage.

The Catholic and Baptist are Adidas and Nike. The Church of Christ is Walmart brand. :lol: If you lurk in C of C groups online, all they talk about is how they can stop dying, and how they can attract new members without sacrificing scriptural correctness.
