Worship Band with GarageBand
One obvious reason is you may be cramped on space. Maybe your stage is tiny or it's big but loaded with tons of stuff. Either way, having an entire drum kit fit on your lap is a huge space saver!
An even better reason than space is smart instruments. With the new GarageBand app for the iPad comes a new feature called smart instruments. It makes playing the guitar, base, keyboard, and drums as simple as pressing one button for every chord change. It makes music accessible to people who aren't musical! There are a couple downsides to the app. The smart drums may be too difficult to control for a live band unless you start out the song with them and then let them run. You also may have to be creative with the chords as there is a limited number of them.
Bottom-line, this app is definitely worth the $5 they charge and can really help a small youth group worship band add key players without finding musical geniuses!
