"CCLI serves every part of the Body of Christ. CCLI has made it so easy to comply with copyright laws by simplifying the process in so many ways. Also, as a Songwriter, they have allowed me to focus more on the heart of ministry and less on the maze of administration. I am truly grateful for their vision and integrity."
~ Paul Baloche - Songwriter, Worship Leader
