Free use in worship and non-commercial settings
You’re welcome to use my materials free of charge for:
- Worship services and small groups
- Chaplaincy, retreats and community gatherings
- Non-commercial events where people aren’t paying for the material itself
You can print, photocopy or project texts (and use songs in livestreamed worship) for these purposes, as long as you include a simple credit, for example:

Hymns, songs and CCLI
If you use one of my hymns or songs and your church reports to CCLI (or similar), please make sure it’s included on your usual returns. These royalties help me keep this website running and give time to create new resources.
