DETAILS
More and more pastors are now using major movie scenes as powerful sermon/teaching illustrations. Sunday School teachers and child care staffers play full-length features for the children. In addition, many churches have special activity movie nights. Perhaps you’ve considered these kinds of activities for your church, but you weren’t sure about the required permission and legalities involved. CVLI will help you make sure you're doing things right…and we make it easy.
Nearly all videos and DVDs available for purchase or rental are authorized for personal home use only, and any showing in a public setting, such as a church, require permission from the copyright holder. The CVLI Church Video License®, provides this permission for thousands of movie titles from more than 90 producers, including most major studios and Christian producers.
