Frequently Asked Questions

A View of Worship (AVOW) is a subscription service that creates professionally notated SongSlides — PowerPoint files with both words and music — for congregational singing. Our mission is to help the whole congregation sing together by making the notation easy to read and easy to follow.

Most presentation services show lyrics only. AVOW projects the notated music alongside the lyrics — so the congregation can actually sing the melody, not just read the words. We believe that seeing the notes encourages greater participation and stronger congregational singing.

AVOW is an annual subscription that gives your church unlimited access to our entire library of over 1,050 SongSlides. Visit our subscription page for current pricing, or contact us with any questions.

Yes. We offer free sample SongSlides on our samples page — download them and open them in your presentation software to see exactly how they look before you commit.

Yes, subscriptions renew annually on your anniversary date. You'll receive an email reminder before renewal, and you can manage or cancel your subscription anytime through your account dashboard.

SongSlides are standard PowerPoint (.pptx) files. They work in Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, Apple Keynote, LibreOffice Impress, ProPresenter, EasyWorship, and most other presentation software. No special software needed.

Each SongSlide is available in up to four formats:

• ›Standard Notation — traditional notation, 4:3
• ›Standard WideScreen — traditional notation, 16:9
• ›Shaped Notes — shape note heads, 4:3
• ›Shaped Notes WideScreen — shape note heads, 16:9

Log in to your account and go to Downloads. Search or browse for a song, click Download, choose your format, and the file downloads instantly.

Yes, a valid CCLI license is required to subscribe. Our first major publisher asked us to require it — your CCLI report is how the lyric authors get paid. We cover the music notation royalties; your CCLI license covers the songwriters. Include all SongSlides you use in your CCLI survey each reporting period.

You can choose which verses or sections to display in your service, but lyrics may not be altered — they are copyright protected and changing them requires written permission from the copyright owner.

No. Your subscription and SongSlides are for a single church and may not be shared with other churches or organizations. Multi-campus? Contact us for licensing options.

When your subscription ends, your access to download new SongSlides ends with it, and previously downloaded files may no longer be used — the license is subscription-based. Renewing your subscription restores your license immediately.

Log in and go to your account dashboard. Church information and billing details can both be updated from there. For billing changes, you'll be directed to the Stripe customer portal.

Subscriptions are tied to a specific church and can't be transferred. You'll need to register a new account under your new church's name with that church's CCLI license. Contact us if you need help getting set up.
