About Us

CCS’s CopyrightSolver provides easy online copyright solutions

Church and ministry leaders want to honor copyrights and do the right thing, but copyright compliance can often be complex, confusing and overwhelming. Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS) was launched in 2001 out of a desire to provide online solutions to simplify the copyright clearance process. Since that time we have helped more than 2,000 churches become copyright compliant, ranging from small local churches to some of the largest churches in the country, including Saddleback Church, Northpoint Church, Gateway Church and Willow Creek Church.

CCS’s Founder and CVO, Susan Fontaine Godwin is an educator and long-time member of the Christian arts community with 26 years of experience in the Christian media industry, church copyright administration and copyright management. Susan is an author and speaker and frequently writes for several Christian magazines and online publications. She is on Worship Leader Magazine’s editorial board and serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Mobile.

The CCS team brings experience from many fields to satisfy our mission. We have worked for industry veterans including Integrity Music, EMI-CMG, Paradigm Music Publishing and Worship Leader Publishing. We also understand the needs of churches, as our staff includes members of church vestries, worship teams and even a lead pastor’s wife. Our team has the heart and expertise to help and serve our clients’ commitment to integrity in honoring copyrights.
