Works alongside other music licenses
Many churches keep CCLI for congregational worship and use WavMaker to cover social media, podcasts, and other content outside of services.
Worship music on WavMaker
CCLI and WavMaker serve different roles when it comes to licensing worship music.
CCLI focuses on licensing commercially released congregational worship music, particularly for use during services and when displaying or printing lyrics.
WavMaker takes a different approach, with a catalog that features:
- • High-quality renditions of beloved worship standards
- • Instrumental music designed for storytelling and reflection
- • Broad stylistic range beyond traditional worship genres
For churches that rely heavily on commercially released worship music during services, CCLI may continue to be an important part of their licensing mix.
At the same time, WavMaker is continually expanding its catalog and adding more worship music so that churches can simplify their licensing over time.
