Are you listed on the iPhone? Check out AppChurch (@appchurch)

I have previously posted about a new iPhone app called AppChurch. It is an app that is essentially one big church directory. You can sign up to have your church listed for free, or pay for premium features.
It is easy to miss the fact you can get a free listing. The frontpage only mentions that it is free for 30 days, but notice the bottom of the screen grab below that mentions the "free plan". It is simply a basic listing that includes your church logo, name, address, website, phone, and service times (not just one field for service times, but many).

Just go to AppChurch.com and click on the "see plans and pricing" link at it will take you to the page above. Or go right to the "free plan" link.
Once there, you can fill out the basic information and upload your logo and you are in... If you want to post sermons or events, you will have to pay a monthly fee, but the listing is free. In fact, if AppChurch is to succeed, all of us cheapskates out there should list our churches so there are plenty of listings to make the app worth downloading.
Here are some screen shots of my churches free listing.
This is the "home page" for our church.
This shows the possibilities to list multiple services and programs.
Of course, basic contact info that are active links...
As you can see, not many churches have been listed. Only 6 in our category, with the AG and Baptists leading the pack at only 28 & 30 listings. Let's see if we can bring that up!
NOTE: I previously posted that it would not load on the iPod Touch. The recent update changed that. Now it is on the iPhone and Touch.
