Someone suggested a GoPro but I've recently received some feedback that suggest that a GoPro might not be the best option and that I should look for an alternative.

GoPro's are awesome action camera's, and for getting B-roll in cars, as they have super wide angle lenses for tight spaces and wide scenics.

Might still be feasible, but def look into alternatives...

If the objective is to record the sermon itself then the only way a GoPro is going to make sense is if you mount it right on the front of the pulpit, and even at that it's not going to be a flattering angle.

GoPros are great for car interior shots or POV shots where wide angles are needed. For shooting a sermon from the 25ft distance the OP was describing I just don't think it's the right tool for the job.

Agreed.
