Free for Churches

SermoNation is a software program that turns any Pentium III or higher PC with Windows 1000 or higher and a CD-Writer into a self-serve kiosk, allowing anyone in your church to create a CD-R of the sermon or copy the sermon to a flash drive.

The software is currently only available to not-for-profit organizations that do not charge for the audio (donation requests to cover the cost of media are acceptable, however).

These days anti-spyware software is just as important as virus protection software. Fortunately, the biggest and best is also free!

I am surprised how many church people become victims of computer viruses. Perhaps this is because many volunteers are not "computer people". However, it may also be because churches don't budget to pay for anti-virus software like Norton or McAfee for their volunteer's computers. Well, now there's no need to! Grisoft's Anti-Virus is an outstanding program, consistently testing as well as (and sometimes better than) commercial competitors... and it's free.

The big downside is that it is not authorized for use in church buildings themselves, so you'll still need to pay something for your office computer or computers in the church building used in media ministries and educational ministries. (However, it is relatively inexpensive and there are discounts available for nonprofits.)

What a great resource! This small collection of tools from five:am productions are great for running quizzes and other events. You can also put together a simple informational DVD, and do some other similar tasks. And it's all free for ministry use!
