Howard Rachinski

Howard Rachinski was the music director for his church in Portland in 1985 when a need to expand the ministry developed. Howard noticed that the members of his church and most churches he knew were not compliant with music copyright laws. Establishing a service for church that today is the Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI), Howard not only helps the churches become and stay compliant, but assists the publishers with the record keeping. Howard was born and raised in Canada where he went to Bible school before becoming Bill Gather’s recording representative in the early 1980s.
