Copyright Licences
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.

Your licence size category is determined by the average number of people attending the largest service visited.
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.
Church Video Licence
