How to cut out footsteps and voices in background of choir performance?

Hello folks!
I am editing a recording of my choir during a church service. The anthem happened during communion, so there is some footstep and soft speaking in the background. I have tried to generate a noise profile from the moments the choir is not singing and some noise is happening, even copying and pasting it to create a long enough clip for the sound profile but Im not having any luck. Would anyone have any tips I’m not thinking of? Link to the recording in question

That’s not going to work for footsteps. Spectral editing is your only hope: it’s like photoshop …

A tedious painstaking process.
