Church Video License

About CVLI

Through an agreement with studios and producers, the CVLI Church Video License provides legal coverage for churches and for other ministry organizations to show DVDs and videocassettes of motion pictures. (Each organization needs to be specifically covered.)  Coverage includes playing just a few seconds of a movie all the way up to showing the full-length feature.

The Church Video License is one of the most cost effective and convenient ways for churches and other ministry organizations to protect themselves from the possibility of being fined for illegal use of DVDs and videocassettes.

Producer Packages

Depending on your needs, CVLI offers Producer package options. The Total Package offers over 400 producers, including major studios. But if you only need videos focused on religious and family-based
themes, check out the Family Values Package.
