We wholeheartedly believe intimacy with God has the power to transform lives.
That’s why YouVersion creates culturally relevant, biblically-centered experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God throughout each day. Through these experiences, we create opportunities for people to connect with God, helping them form a spiritually-rich rhythm of seeking God intimately.
Our hope is that each person in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer to Him every day.
YouVersion is a ministry of Life.Church. Named one of the largest, fastest growing and most innovative churches in America, Life.Church is one church in multiple locations, and we are passionate about using technology to reach the world with the hope of Jesus. This passion led us to start YouVersion in 2007 with a simple vision, which God has grown to a community of over 550 million (and counting!). Life.Church wants to make a lasting difference in our communities and the world, seeking to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We are risk-taking, irrationally generous, spiritual contributors who bring our best, laugh hard, and honor God with integrity.
In 2019, Glassdoor named Life.Church a Best Place to Work and named our senior pastor, Craig Groeschel, one of the Top CEOs.
Audio Network is the music company for broadcasters, brands and content creators, breaking down boundaries to deliver music seamlessly across the world.
The company first disrupted the market landscape in 2001 with a unique proposition: simple and transparent licensing allowing creators to use music on multiple platforms, everywhere, forever.
Audio Network now has an expansive catalogue of 280,000+ wholly-owned tracks created by 1,000+ renowned composers, singer-songwriters and known and emerging artists. These are curated into albums and playlists across every imaginable mood and genre. At the same time, regular recording sessions take place at some of the world’s best studios (including 150+ yearly sessions at Abbey Road Studios), enabling us to stay true to our brand promise of music of unrivalled quality.
Since its inception, the business has grown exponentially. In fact, The Sunday Times lists Audio Network as one of the UK’s fastest growing companies (Tech Track 2011-2013; Profit Track 100 2013- 2015; SME Export track 2015; Les Champions de la Croissance 2017), and most acclaimed, having won the Queen’s Prize for Enterprise in 2018 (following previous wins of the 2008 Queen’s Award for Innovation and the 2012 Queen’s Award for International Trade).
The company constantly invests in its people, its music and its clients, with offices in London (HQ), Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Toronto, Amsterdam, Sydney, Munich and Tokyo, and staff including dedicated music consultants and experts.
Under the leadership of CEO Robb Smith, and the guidance of our original founders Robert Hurst and Andrew Sunnucks, that model remains at the heart of the business as the company enters a new phase of expansion. Now we deliver music to the rest of the world with the same simple commitment: high-quality music, clear and simple licensing and seamless, innovative service.

CCLI enables real-time access to licensed Christian music and media while at once easing the burden of administration in the many complex issues related to copyright.
Why we do it
For ages, the power of song has been an essential ingredient toward inspiring worship. And in today’s highly visual world, so too are the rich images seen in film and video. But are those works ours to use during service or to enhance a presentation? Well, yes they certainly can be used with the proper licensing.
That’s where we come in: to provide our customers—from churches to organizations and even schools—with the resources for playing and displaying the most inspiring audio and video, while at the same time, simplifying the costly administrative work involved in Copyright Licensing. In doing so, we honor the artists, labels, and studios who create and own this work by ensuring fair use receives fair compensation.
What we promise every customer
Because copyright law and licensing is complex and because access to the best Christian content can require valuable time to discover, be confusing and expensive to license per use, we make the following promises to every customer and partner.
