What we do

CCLI enables real-time access to licensed Christian music and media while at once easing the burden of administration in the many complex issues related to copyright.

Why we do it

For ages, the power of song has been an essential ingredient toward inspiring worship. And in today’s highly visual world, so too are the rich images seen in film and video. But are those works ours to use during our services or to enhance a presentation? Well, yes they certainly can be used with the proper licensing.

That’s where we come in: to provide our customers—from churches, to organisations and even schools—with the resources for performing and displaying the most inspiring audio and video, while at the same time, simplifying the costly administrative work involved in copyright licensing. In doing so, we honour the artists, labels and studios who create and own this work by ensuring fair use receives fair compensation.

What we promise every customer

Because copyright law and licensing is complex, and because access to the best Christian content can require valuable time to discover, be confusing and expensive to license per use, we make the following promises to every customer and partner. More about the CCLI process.
