How much do you think it would cost to get an iPhone App developed for your Church?

Thousands of dollars, I’m afraid. Mega-church territory.

Or $99! Local church territory!

Have a look at this great offer from SermonAudio. Anyone who knows Steven Lee, CEO of SermonAudio, knows his passion for supporting evangelism through the local church. And this affordable iPhone App for local churches is just the latest in a long line of innovative services that Steven has brought to us throughout the years (see this new blog service as well).

Steven says, “This App is just one more way we’re trying to service the local church and reach more people. If people in the local church can get excited about their church’s sermons and ministry, it might be a good way for them to introduce friends to their church, as it not only supports the regular archive of sermons, videos, and live webcasts, but also photos of church events, blogs, twitter, and more. I wanted to make it as close to a ‘one-stop’ app for the church as possible.”
 
“The other thing was that I noticed that only the rather large ministries were able to afford to have their own apps, and I felt if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for the ‘little guy’ as well. And we’re all about the little guy on SermonAudio. So, I wanted to achieve a price that was ‘game-changing’ affordable for any-sized church.”

“I talked with one pastor at Steve Lawson’s conference and they said they looked into getting an iphone app developed, but it was several thousand dollars – impossible for a small church.So, that’s another reason why i felt the need to do this. Plus, it was simply *possible* for us to do it. We already had a SermonAudio app and so the tools were in place for us to make the church app. We had to streamline the process to make our work as efficient as possible. So that took a bit of work. But the hard part is done – the churches can enjoy the fruits of our labor!”
