From what I remember from a while back, many of the mixers with USB were limited to 2 channel of recording. I don't know what's available currently, but have you looked into the Mackie mixers with USB outputs? Does something like the SPL Crimson work for you?
Motu has quite a number of audio interfaces. Some support standalone operation as a 'limited' mixer (not in a standard mixer layout) in addition to use as an interface.
Did you look into systems that are designed for churches/small halls?
It might be helpful to understand what your needs are for 'standalone' operation.
Having 'great preamps' may also have to be better understood; expectations can vary greatly.
