Honoring songwriters and artists

While the Religious Service Exemption in U.S. Copyright law allows churches to play and perform copyrighted music during religious services, it does NOT apply outside of services. Through a partnership with the leading Performing Rights Organisations (PROs), the CCS PERFORMmusic Facilities License provides the most comprehensive, one-stop music performance licensing solution for churches. With a combined catalog of 43 million songs across all genres, PERFORMmusic is the only license offering total legal freedom to use music in all areas of of your ministry.

PERFORMmusic License Q&A

Why does my Church need the PERFORMmusic License?

The Religious Service Exemption in US Copyright law only applies to music played of performed during services. In any other context, churches have the same requirements as any business, restaurant, or venue and you must have the proper licensing in place to use live and pre-recorded music onsite. This includes before and after services, in your childrens' and youth ministry, in cafes or bookstores, or at social and outreach events.

Doesn't our CCLI Church Copyright License® already cover us?

CCLI's Church Copyright License covers the right to copy music for congregational singing. It does not include the rights to play or perform music in church facilities. The PERFORMmusic License makes it simple and affordable to play or perform millions of Christian and secular songs in your facilities and satellite campuses. Together the CCLI Church License and the PERFORMmusic License offer full coverage for the most common church activities and music use.

What happens to the fees we pay?

Are ticketed events covered?

The U.S. performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC) offer additional coverage for ticketed events to current PERFORMmusic licensees. These additional fees are calculated based on various factors, including the type of event, venue location and seating capacity, number of tickets distributed, and gross ticket sales. Even free ticketed events require reporting, with fees based on your facility’s seating capacity and entertainment expenses.

CCS's goal is to simplify the reporting process and eliminate the need to obtain licenses directly from ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC individually. It’s essential to report your event as soon as it concludes and during the calendar quarter in which it takes place. You can download the ticketed event submission form by clicking here. Once completed, please email it directly to Christian Copyright Solutions. You will then receive a PERFORMmusic Event invoice within 3 days, which is payable upon receipt.

For budgeting purposes, CCS typically suggest a per-event fee budget of $91.00 or 10% of the gross ticket revenue, whichever is greater.
