"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 catalogue of worship songs to pick from and not worry about whether I can obtain permission to use them."

Showing Film Scenes at Church

Do you use film scenes or show films in your church?

If so, you must first ensure that you have obtained permission, even if you are only showing a 30-second scene. This is because pre-recorded videos and DVDs that you can buy or rent from shops are only intended for personal home use, not public viewing such as in your church building, hall or bookshop.

Since CCLI is an agent to Christian Video Licensing International (CVLI), and the Performing Right Society (PRS) you don't need to contact every copyright owner each time you would like to show a film in your church. Just follow the simple steps below:

Check that the producers are covered by the licence scheme.
