Original milestone anthems for worship pastors — church anniversaries, Christmas Eve, pastor tributes, and capital campaigns. Written by a human songwriter, from your congregation's history.
Lyrics written by a human songwriter, from your church's story. Full congregational rights — no CCLI filing. Delivered weeks before your service.
Service date this season? Most churches book 6–8 weeks out — inquire early to hold your date. You approve the lyrics before anything is recorded.
Church milestones are rare. A 25th, 50th, or 100th anniversary happens once. A pastor retiring after thirty years happens once. A capital-campaign theme sets the tone for a building program your congregation will give toward for years. These moments carry generational weight — they deserve original music, not a track pulled from a catalog.
Every lyric is written by Chad Colter — a human songwriter — from the specific history of your congregation: the Scripture your founding pastor preached, the season you nearly closed, the neighborhood you serve, the language of your tradition. No template. No algorithm. Written by hand, from your story.
And when it's delivered, it belongs to your church's story. Perform it every Sunday. Project the lyrics. Record your live service. Post the video. No licensing paperwork, no CCLI filing for your own commissioned song.
Most commissioned music ties up rights in a publisher contract or rides on your CCLI reporting. Yours belongs to your church, free and clear — no annual fees, no license tracking, no vendor relationship after delivery. Every lyric is written by one person — Chad Colter — from your congregation's story, then produced with professional studio tools. Not a mill, not a marketplace, not a template you could have downloaded.
Add Premium to any commission (+$500): instrument stems for your team, a kinetic lyric video for the screens, priority delivery, and a 30-minute arrangement call with Chad.
Not sure which fits, or planning something else — a launch Sunday, a missions theme, a church-plant song?
