Ian -

with the many things that Web Empowered Church has done - I think  
folks should take a look @ it.
www.WebEmpoweredChurch.com

VineHosting - which I am part of is now hosting over 400 churches and  
ministries on this platform -
 From as small as 20 folks to as large as 12,000 in attendance.
The majority have zero technical staff or skill.

If someone would like a walkthrough - please let us know.

The Web Empowered Church software is free - and includes all of the  
following ministry tools:

(listed in detail here:  http://webempoweredchurch.com/extensions/ )


Current Ministry Tools

Discussion Forum
The Discussion Forum extension allows you to create a simplified  
forum, blog (web log), or comment system on your website. The  
Discussion Forum is designed for one main topic on one page only.
eBible
The WEC eBible extension automatically converts scripture references  
anywhere in your website to the full scripture text.
Flash Player
The WEC Flash Player extension plays either MP3-formatted audio files  
or FLV-formatted video files inside a web browser.
Flash Presentation
The WEC Flash Presentation extension displays an audio or video  
presentation that includes multiple individual charts that are  
displayed at the appropriate time in the presentation.
Map
The WEC Map extension displays a Google map with markers that show a  
few locations such as your church and youth center, or the map can  
display all or a group of frontend users.
Prayer Connector
The WEC Prayer Connector extension implements a connector community. A  
connector community is designed to help people that have a need or  
service find people who can address that need or use that service.
Servant Matcher
The WEC Servant Matcher is a great way to connect people to service  
opportunities. Specifically,this extension was created for churches or  
ministries to connect members and attenders to ministry service  
opportunities.
Sermons Management System
The Sermon Management System, or SMS for short, provides a streamlined  
process for making sermon resources available online, and allows your  
audience to view the sermon information in many different ways.
Staff Directory
The Staff Directory is an extension that will enable organizations the  
ability to display information about their staff members on their  
website.
Devotional Journal
The WEC Devotional Journal extension implements a devotional with a  
private personal journal for each user. - This tool however takes a  
lot of work to use - visit www.mytj.org for a demonstration.

A few of the churches using WEC are as follows:



www.cor.org - ian referenced this one.
http://www.gego-bremen.de/
http://www.4fbc.org/
http://www.jaxgrace.org/
http://www.heartchurch.com/
http://www.irvingbible.org/
http://www.stonebriar.org


We are constantly in development - and the software is free - Open  
Source - which allows you to work on it yourself if ever needed - and  
choose hosting anywhere.
Vine - we offer plans as cheap as $25/mo

Elaxio and others - they are great tools - but the cost on many that  
have the specific ministry tools - well they are expensive.

Hope that helps
