Is there like a mixer that I can connect my two cameras 1 is a mini dv and the other is HDD , I want to be able to record and have it go from one camera to another. Please help me out, I do know how to create videos and put video from my camera onto my pc , but I dont know too much, so all the help I can get will be appreciated.

   I'm surprised you haven't had any replies from someone familiar with this type of production, but since you haven't, I'll at least try to point you in one possible direction..
   
   I Googled this phrase, "live video mixer church services" and one of the links I got was:
   http://www.videouniversity.com/switch.htm
   
   They list several equipment package choices and one has a mixer for under $1000.
   
   You might also try checking older posts in this topic.
   
   When you get things setup, why not post your experiences here, to help those who will follow in your footsteps?
   
   Good luck!

   what is the final recording for? If the idea is to provide DVDs for people who couldn't come, then 2 cameras through a mixer and record on a DVD recorder would do it cheaply. You could record the output to computer hard drive if you need to edit afterwards, or even to a dv recorder - plenty of choice. This magazine is quite helpful http://www.churchproduction.com/home.php and is free to churchy type organisations - very basic but has good case studies and basic level reviews.
   
   The only real snags I can see are mainly camera locations - if you have people running the cameras you'll need intercoms so the person mixing can talk to them. If you run them from the back, even zoomed in fully might not be close enough
