I play guitar and drums regularly at different churches in LA. Usually using the AX8 when I'm playing guitar.
My recommendation: learn how to use and work the mixing board at your church. A little knowledge goes a long way so you can just do things yourself and get yourself mixed well in case the soundman is a bonehead.
One church I play at (on drums) uses ableton and the soundman used to send the click back to me (on In ears) from the Soundboard because that's where the laptop was. I had too many instances where the click would drop out or the level would be wildly different between tracks and songs. Pretty much heart attack moments when I had to play along to a backing track without hearing the click. After awhile I just fought to be able to control the mix from the stage (via iPad) etc and it hasn't been a problem since and all the musicians and worship leader are much much happier.
Moral of the story: nobody is a mind reader and it's probably better to just do things yourself to reduce any variables about your performance.
The AX8 rules. Perfect church rig!
I've thought about grabbing the music ministers ipad and adjusting the levels for the board myself (at least my channel). It's right there about 6 feet from me but I think he keeps a sniper trained on it and if anyone touches it....BOOM.
