Three churches are now streaming live worship services on the media-magnet, the Apple iPhone.

Northland in Florida is the latest to join the soon-to-be crowded iBandwagon for sure.  It’s only a matter of time before iPhone streaming announcements are made on a monthly or weekly basis by each additional church trying to reach the digerati generation with their own live Church.

This sounds slick, cool, hip and “with-it” for churches to jump to broadcasting via iPhone.  But are you really able to authentically worship God on an iPhone or iPod Touch?

For those that are staunch advocates to use any and all technology available to bring church to the people — Do you loose anything in the iPhone iGod experience?

Is the iGod you meet on the iPhone while you’re in your car, at the mall or in line to buy a frosty at the drive thru, the same God that you meet in the holy sanctuary of a brick and mortar church?

As a techie, I wholey embrace the online worship space as it is experimenting and developing its own identity right now.  But I’m not fully convinced yet if trying to distribute live worship services on the iPhone as if it is like any other interactive content is completely valid.

Would you help me sort this out and add your own thoughts on the matter?  Please leave a comment below.
