How It Works

Choosing music for worship is a rewarding experience. Creating service bulletins and worship aids is somewhat less so, and acquiring copyright permission and reporting usage can be a real chore, to say nothing about the confusion which frequently accompanies the task. If you find dealing with copyright permissions to be puzzling, or just time-consuming, it’s OneLicense.net to the rescue!

Comprehensive, Convenient, Cost-effective

Using OneLicense gives you access to the congregational hymns, songs and service music of today’s top church music publishers—all for one yearly fee! Our list of publisher members is growing and as new publishers become OneLicense.net members, you will immediately have access to their catalogs so long as your license is in force.

The cost of a OneLicense is equitably and fairly based upon the average weekly attendance of your congregation. The yearly cost ranges from $50.00 per year for average weekly attendance of 25 members to $800.00 annually for average weekly attendance of 20,000 members or more. Single use licenses range from $25 to $60, and event licenses begin at $35 and extend up to $275 for a really large convention.

Simply stated ...

It's easy …

  1. Log in with email and password.
  2. Choose the week you wish to report. (Our week runs from Thursday through Wednesday, in order to keep each entire weekend within the same report.)
  3. Follow the prompts to report your reprints. Most of the songs you use will already be in the OneLicense database, allowing you to click and report. If they are not found there, you simply type in the information, and it will be there forever after.
