You may have read my post early on about K9 internet filtering. K9 is a good resource to use in home computers, but I have recently found out that to put it on your church computers (i.e. business) you need to purchase a license.
You may want to check out OpenDNS. It provides similar internet saftety solutions and is completely free for any setting. I must admit that I have not used this yet. I plan on taking K9 off of one of my church computers and installing OpenDNS on it instead.
Have you had any experience with OpenDNS? Tell us about it.

This is what I use on almost everything I filter. It is on my home computer, all the computers at FIM as a global setting and other places. You can connect it to your entire church by some minor changes to your DNS service (at your firewall or router) so you don't have to be checking and it would automatically be applied to wireless clients who bring in their own computer.
They use a solid database to provide the filtering that is part of a commercial product that I have been very happy with in a previous employment at a Bible College. It is considered by many to be THE best filter available and I assume that's why OpenDNS is providing it.
