Worship Songs and the Law: How Churches Stay Legal and How Songwriters Get Paid

Church leadership: Did you know that only an estimated 42.4% of churches in North America are paying song copyright holders for their work? Do you know why church music licenses exist, who collects these fees and distributes the money?

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.

Stephen Robert Cass brings all the answers together in this 86-page, 2023 Christian Indie Award Finalist, special report.

Available since September 2022.

The audiobook is narrated and produced by the author.

The 5 Keys to a Clear Mix: Create YOUR Mix Philosophy – for Christian Artists, Songwriters, and Church Sound Mixers

Released in February 2022, this 90-page book presents 5 critical areas to build the foundation of a song mix. It’s an excellent manual for understanding about multitrack mixing, whether that’s in the studio or the home recordist making records and demos, or the person behind the sound board at church – or any live sound situation.

It provides a method to discover your own mixing philosophy and then refers you to a select number of professionals for continuing guidance and education.

It would work well as a guide for the tech team at church and open up conversations to pursue better sound solutions such as installing acoustic panels or for isolating the drums. This would be an excellent companion for any songwriter or group of songwriters who rely on making demos to show their songs in the best light.

The audiobook is narrated and produced by the author.
