NASHVILLE (BP) – Lifeway Christian Resources announced today (July 18) it would discontinue lifewayworship.com, a website providing arrangements, charts, sheet music and other music resources for church worship.

“These decisions are made for a number of reasons, but always with the goal of best stewarding our resources to serve Christ’s church even as some needs of the church may change over time,” said a statement at the site.

Church music leaders will have until Sept. 30 to download all content in their lifewayworship.com music libraries before the site shuts down. The last day for new purchases from the site will be Aug. 31.

A statement sent to Baptist Press said Lifeway Worship would continue to provide Lord’s Supper supplies, hymnals, trade music, bulletins, church supplies, digital graphics, seasonal supplies, Lifeway’s One Source and other areas of church worship ministry support.

“We’re also working to make our lifewayworship.com music library available at lifeway.com in the future. We’ll continue to look for new and fresh ways to serve churches and their worship ministries,” the statement said.

In the future, Lifeway recommends churches obtain similar music resources from praisecharts.com or songselect.com.
