About Showing WESLEY in Your Church.

A special affordable license is required to exhibit the motion picture Wesley to a church or Sunday School group.  The HOME EDITION, released last year by Vision Video, is only licensed for personal home use and may not be exhibited to church groups or Sunday Shool classes without the purchase of a separate Church License.  This is true for all movie DVDs! Please be aware that Wesley is not covered by the CVLI License!

Affordable License

Recognizing that smaller congregations should not be required to pay the same as much larger congregations, we have designed our Church License program to be based on the average attendance of the congregation.  In addition, we have made the license a PERPETUAL SITE LICENSE rather than a single-performance license as is true for many movies, so that you may exhibit the DVD on your site whenever you wish without paying an additional fee.

Why is this necessary?

First, Federal and international copyright law make a very clear distinction between a movie DVD which can be viewed by your family in your living room and any sort of public exhibition.  Public exhibition requires a separate license arrangement in all cases.  LEARN MORE!

Second, producing a quality movie such as Wesley is quite expensive -- but it does not have the mass sales appeal that will allow us to sell millions of copies.

In the meantime, we have also implemented a carefully designed Fundraiser Program that will allow your district or a group of churches to publicly exhibit the movie as part of a fundraiser -- at no advance cost to your district or churches! Be aware that when you sign up for this program, we assign an exclusive license for your area and may not exhibit the movie in a first-run theatre in your area anytime during or following your fundraiser. Fundraiser licenses can only be granted in areas where we do not have an existing first-run agreement with a theatre.

In addition, we can share the exciting news that Asbury Press is planning a special STUDY EDITION with extensive additional material and a study guide/teacher's guide that will be perfect for use in Sunday School.  The release date for this edition has not yet been announced.

Earn all you can.
Save all you can.
Give all you can.
