Paul Baloche Singer-songwriter and worship leader. January 11, The Copyright Tools You Need in There is something exciting about a new year — new possibilities, new experiences, new challenges, and new things to learn. All rights reserved.

Guess the best option for my church is CCS. I am looking at wanting to post like the top 25 Christian artists songs on our website for people to listen to while they are looking at information on our website what type of licensing do we need.
We already own a couple different ccli license types but just wanted to find out if that would cover us or if we need more. The standard ccli license permits you to do very little.
I echo what Chris said the last thing a visitor wants to hear when visiting the website is music upon arrival. You want to get the information and get out. The best way to go is put the most important information up front and make quick and easy to find. If my church is doing a funeral service and the family brings in a DVD or video file with copyrighted music, will we be liable if we play it at the church?
I know that Funeral Homes are not allowed to do that, so my understanding would be that a church cannot either. We have a small praise group at church that gathers on a week night at church in a chapel to sing and pray, not the whole congregation. Would this still be considered a worship service? If we have purchased song books for everyone attending, do we still need a license for a guitar player to lead the music?
We have a CCLI license at our church to cover in-house. But we are also on live television every Sunday. Can you give me some help please? Contact CCS. Live stream requires a specific type of license. Thanks for your insight on this often vague and ever changing topic. What special licensing would we need if we wanted to put that on our website?
Only if you have the licensing to do it. And showing in-house to a limited audience vs on the internet is different. We are a small church that runs about on a Sunday morning. For years, long before I got here, we have recorded the entire service on a DVD to pass out to 7 or 8 ladies who are shut-ins. They are the only ones who receive a DVD. Can we continue to do this without any type of licensing?
Is putting up our church service on youtube a violation of copyright? The pastor sometimes uses music clips in his sermons and we would also like to start putting up the music portion of the service on youtube. Do I need a license to use a worship song in a video? Or is is it enough to give credit to the artist? We are recording on video testimonies by different church members.
Will we need a license to use instrumental tracks or any tracks for videos that we will use on our website, facebook page, church services? God bless. Thanks for your article. It is really important for people to understand copyright laws when it comes to music.
Music is often an essential part of worship or special events in many Christian churches. As you mentioned, being a church does not exempt you from copyright laws. If you enjoy special arrangements or new music, it can be important to make sure that you support the musicians and publishers that enable sheet music and new music. Hey Chris — Appreciate the article. Very helpful info. Suggestions on what we would need to do this? I tried contacting Christian Copyright Solutions through their webpage and received no response.
This was a couple months back. OK, thanks! Especially considering that the article is about copyright infringement… :. My church is interested in playing contemporary Christian music. I had a thought if you put the lyrics on a screen or something of that sort if you need a license as far as infringement rights are concern. This is for church worship only. Your website is really great. Our church subscribes to multiple CCLI licenses to try and cover all the bases.
CCS offers a blanket performance license that may cover most of your concerns. They give a lot of info but am not sure how or even if it is valid. What do you say about this site and the requirements of the church? They are wrong plain and simple. Churches are not exempt from copyright law just because they are a non-profit entity. My church of members is creating a church website and want to use the intro less than a minute , of gospel songs when someone logs on to the website, what license is required?
As a former web designer and one who still stays up on web trends and site usability, I beg you not to put instant-play music on your web site. Great article! The church is not using its equipment; the vendor will provide his own URL portal, but it will be transmitted from our church. The wedding party is paying a rental fee to use our sanctuary. Jackie, contact the company listed in this article.
Thanks for your advice. We would like to make a slide show of our pictures and play a recorded song behind the slide show…is this legal? What license do we need to get? Thanks for any help! We have prayer every Saturday morning for one hour. This consists of people logging on to go to webinar and it is streamed only to people that log on. Which copyright license is needed to do this legally? Usually we just post sermons.
