I will consider recording with a single mic. Thank you!

How about if you used 4 sets of earbuds instead of headphones, with the prerecorded stuff being output in mono. Each set of earbuds could be shared by 2 choir members; each choir member could have an earbud in one ear and their other ear could hear the choir as they sang.
Shure has quite a few guidelines on-line for recording choirs. They cover things like choir arrangement, how many mics, mic type, mic location, etc.
You might want to locate/arrange the choir members to get their best balance of voices; use arrangement of choir members instead of placement of microphones for initial balancing. If you end up arranging the choir in 2-3 rows you might want to have the mic(s) back about 3' from the first row, 3' higher than the singers in the top/back row, and angled down toward the singers in the top/back row.
