This is common when using the built-in microphones on cameras or smartphones.
If you are using a proper video camera and you are feeding the audio into another device for recording or streaming, then you could Insert the Audio into the HDMI connection. Otherwise you need to look at ways to add a better microphone to the camera.
If your camera has XLR inputs, you could even connect a send from your sound desk to the camera enabling you to use multiple microphones.
The ultimate goal is to get the microphone closer to the speaker or the sound that you are wanting to pick up.
For speech a good condenser microphone designed for a podium is an excellent choice especially if you are standing. The condenser will pick up well and if you keep the speakers off (assuming there is no need for them) you can turn them up without risk of feedback. If the speaker is seated, then a lapel mic or a headset mic is better. (Of course this advice assumes that the congregation is not in the room – once you add local speakers then lapel mics can feedback easily and condensers are still good but care should be taken to ensure that they do not cause feed-back
