We’ve had a mobile version for a while, but we keep expanding the content:
http://m.mtbethel.org/

Because it’s a homegrown CMS, I was able to automate much of the content on the mobile site — staff info, worship details (scripture that week), etc. Then I installed a mobile-friendly skin for our blog and forums, so those work great as well.

To Tyler:
Tyler, if you own the domain http://www.newspring.us, then you’ll need to get a subdomain set up - m.newspring.us. It’s something your host could do (if he’s willing to let go of another IP address).

Bobby, I think this post is very relevant to today’s generation. However, one thing you guys may want to do is find a way in your code on your site to determine which browser people use. I surfed to http://www.lifechurch.tv from my mobile phone and got the main site and not the mobile one. The sites I’ve done have code that checks the browser and redirects users accordingly. Just FYI.

This is great! I have my account set up, but I want to use m.newspring.us for my custom domain. Where do I get that domain at that has the m. part? I must be missing something obvious…

We developed a mobile version, http://m.theaterchurch.com. At this point, it’s really short on content. We are planning to expand that site, which is sort of “mobile central” for many devices, as well as develop an iPhone/iPod Touch version which will offer more media options.

I’d love to see a directory of churches with mobile versions of their sites. Perhaps this thread can be an initial gathering point for that.

Bobby-

Thanks for the link to Mofuse. I was looking for a Wordpress plugin earlier this week that would do this painlessly while I plan for a more personal, permanent solution.

I just setup MoFuse (took me about 5-7 minutes to get the whole thing working.

I am using wordpress to drive my site, and there are some incredible free plugins to make your site mobile, and even adapt them to specific devices like the iphone.
