Corporate Documents

RPJ Records - Mission Statement and Purpose
When RPJ Records was launched in 1998, we knew a mission statement and purpose would be essential to release along with our announcement.  Because the label was fundamentally different as to its ownership structure, we knew there would be many questions - specifically regarding our motivations and purpose for building a label under a ministry.  This document, as part of the company's press kit, gives a good summary of the reasons for RPJ's development.
​
Contract Documents
When we began conducting business, it was clear that due to the focus of the type of clients we wanted to work with - specifically, worship leaders and others related to church ministries - we would need to explain in very clear language the methods we are using to accomplish our objectives.  Specifically, we knew the terms and verbiage used in legal contracts would be highly confusing to those who are not intimately involved in the music industry.

We crafted a document for RPJ's new songwriters, so they could understand the contract, paragraph by paragraph, in plain English.
