Do I need a PERFORMmusic license?

You need performance licensing if your church utilizes music outside or beyond your worship service.
Music played in the context of your church service is, in fact, exempt from copyright licensing by the Religious Service Exemption in the US Copyright Law. However, the religious service exemption only applies to music within actual religious services. The PERFORMmusic License offers your 501 (c)(3) church or non-profit religious organization comprehensive coverage for your music performances beyond your worship services.
