CCS provides simple licensing solutions & educational resources

Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS) is a leading authority on church music copyrights, providing simple music licensing solutions and clear educational resources. CCS is the only Christian company to partner with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC to offer one-stop performance licenses that allow religious organizations to legally play, perform and stream over 25 million Christian and secular songs of all genres. CCS also serves as an advocate for copyright owners, offering full service administration to promote, protect and collect royalties.

Church and ministry leaders want to honor copyrights and do the right thing, but copyright compliance can often be complex, confusing and overwhelming. CCS was launched in 2001 out of a desire to provide online solutions to simplify the copyright clearance process. Since that time we have helped more than 3,000 churches and ministries become copyright compliant, including Saddleback Church, Northpoint Church, Gateway Church, Prestonwood Baptist Church and Willow Creek Church.

CCS’s Founder and CVO, Susan Fontaine Godwin is an educator and long-time member of the Christian arts community with 28 years of experience in the Christian media industry, church copyright administration and copyright management. Susan is an author and speaker and frequently writes for several Christian magazines and online publications. She is on Worship Leader Magazine’s editorial board and serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Mobile.

The CCS team brings experience from many fields to satisfy our mission. We have worked for industry veterans including Integrity Music, EMI-CMG, Paradigm Music Publishing and Worship Leader Publishing. We also understand the needs of churches, as our staff includes members of church vestries, worship teams and even a lead pastor’s wife. Our team has the heart and expertise to help and serve our clients’ commitment to integrity in honoring copyrights.
