Help with Streaming Audio

I am in charge of the Audio/Video at my church, and they are now interested in streaming the live audio of the services online. We have all of the necessary equipment, everyone has Shure microphones, and three choir mics, all of this is then sent to a digital equalizer and then our sound board mixer. The sound board outputs to the speakers, as well as to the audio input on a computer. The computer currently drives the projectors and records the audio to burn a cd of each service. It already has high speed inter with a half megabit up, and there would not be many people listening to the service (3 to 4 max.) The only question is what software can we install to allow the broadcasting of this service live over our website? I would prefer to have it broadcast in Windows Media format, as the average population at our church is very old and we don't want them to have to install anything. Also, we need to be able to broadcast over a wireless network as well, because there are several areas of the church not wired to the main sanctuary that have computers, but can't hear the service. Buying software for this is not a problem, however, the lower the cost the better, and free is of course the best. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Short Version:
Audio is already being sent into the computer over input, how do I broadcast this over the internet and wireless network?
 
Does anyone have any ideas? I am supposed to present some of our options tomorrow evening, so I would really appreciate some help.
 
I got this thing working (with windows media encoder) and I have tried both live broadcast of my voice to test computers, as well as a prerecorded copy of one of the church services. It works absolutely beautifully, and the quality everything I need it to be considering the audience and the source. The only question I have is does anyone know how I can make a link to the broadcast when it is just being sent by the program? If I copy the ip into Windows Media player it opens it up and it plays no problem, but I would like it to be a simple point and click to get it playing. If anyone knows how to do this I would really appreciate it.
 
Umm, yeah, you should just be able to create a simple HTML link to the IP address stream.
 
I finally got it working, all I needed to do was mms:// to the ip address, which I completely fogot about. Thanks for the help.
 
Cool. Glad you got it working.

Good work setting that all up... was it pretty easy?
