CCLI : Encouraging the spirit of worship
Country Selected

"CCLI performs a great service: eliminating the hassle of copyright clearance that would otherwise be an impossible job for churches. As a worship leader, it is so nice to have a huge catalog of worship songs to pick from and not worry about whether I can obtain permission to use them. It is all included in the annual fee. The reporting requirements are not burdensome either... All in all, a wonderful service."
