Church Music Management Program
CMMP is a web based application designed to help church musicians and others manage the musical content of their services. Hymns, music and service records are held in an online database which can be accessed and updated by your clergy, music directors and others involved in worship planning.
CMMP maintains a record of the services, including the hymns, music and other items used. It can be used to produce lists of hymns for an individual service or set of services either as a historic record or for information on future services.
As it is an online resource, clergy, musicians and others have access to the most up to date information on their desktop, tablet or mobile device.
