I welcome you to make use of my work in worship services, classes or presentations, or other public settings. Please credit Avery Arden and link to binarybreakingworship.com (and keep in mind that my pronouns are they/them!).
I love to hear about how my work is being used! It’s not necessary, but if you want to let me know you’ve used one of my pieces, email me at queerlychristian36@gmail.com.
My work is also completely free, but if you’d like to send a few bucks my way in thanks, you can do so at https://ko-fi.com/averyarden.
