I experience this every weekend and this author is pretty spot on. I know there are always people who it is too loud and I know who those people are every week. Also, there is a difference in general volume in the older crowd, the 8:30 service and these young hipsters at 12:30. All these guidelines are good to heed but I imagine most of them are true for any live sound setting not just a church service. The only one that was specifically church related is that vocals drive the show.
The ones I would add is nobody cares about the quality of sound as much as you do AND you only get noticed when you do something bad. Which is how it should be.
A lot of these axioms seem to be pretty accurate to me, however a lot of them are pretty basic, and I would agree with Dale in saying that a lot of the tips apply to sound mixing in general and not just worship audio mixing. After running audio for a few years for a church I worked at, I have lived through a lot of these tips as I adapted to the space early on. I agree with number 6 and would spend plenty of time making sure the gain structure and relative input levels of each channel made setting output levels a breeze.
