Licences for Churches
Keeping Churches Covered
The heightened accessibility offered by the internet, coupled with major advances in technology, means that churches now have access to a vast range of music, video and creative works for use in their services and activities. But the issues related to copyright are complicated, and legal compliance can be confusing. CCLI is here to make it simple. Our licences are tailored for the differing needs of churches and are designed to enable the fair and legal use of creative works while saving valuable administrative time, effort and expense.
Church Copyright Licence
Protect your church. The CCLI® Church Copyright Licence™ permits churches to project or print out the words and music to the world’s great worship songs and hymns. Further, the licence permits the creation of custom musical arrangements where no published version exists. Available as an annual or 14 day event licence for both churches and mobile/itinerant workers, the Church Copyright Licence is a simple alternative to seeking direct permission from each copyright owner. It is the trusted solution and presently covers more than 250,000 churches and Christian ministries worldwide.

Mobile/Itinerant workers:
Your licence size category is determined by the average number of people attending the largest service visited.
I would like to challenge all churches in the Nordic countries to get a licence through CCLI. Such an agreement does not cost much for the local church, but for us who have songwriting as part of our living, it means very much with what we get from CCLI. Another reason for you to get a licence from CCLI is that this is a great tool for your church if you want to project and print songs with a good conscience. Without breaking the law.
Church Video Licence
Unlock the power of film. The Church Video Licence™ provides the legal cover required to publicly show film scenes during services, and full-length films during outreach and social activities. The Church Video Licence covers a vast range of films and most of the major studios, including: Dreamworks, Focus, Miramax, Paramount, United International Pictures and Universal.

CCLI is an excellent tool for churches when it comes to copyright and permission to display lyrics. And at the same time it is an encouragement for us who burn for writing songs that serve the Christian community in Sweden.
