Did you know that there's a clause in copyright law specifically for churches in the US? Let me tell you about the opportunities that this brings to songwriting and church ministries.


Do you know how independent songwriters and music publishers share in the revenue generated from church song licenses?


Worship songwriters: Would you like to know the exact method to document your songs and register them for the maximum royalties? Give this money to the church or build your songwriting ministry.


All these questions are answered in this comprehensive special report that promotes spreading the gospel and honoring the creative people who help to make all church ministries possible. Pass this report on to songwriters, musicians, worship pastors, and church leadership so they are informed about current copyright laws and the practices of paying for the use of intellectual property.
