Who Writes the Music Featured on The King's Court?

The King's Court primarily features the music of Will Goldstein, who composes and produces Christian music often based on scripture or spiritual themes from the Bible in a variety of musical styles. A second songwriter, Jeanne Brickman, has joined him in collaboration to produce musicals drawn from the Old and New Testaments, plus a third title, The King's Highway. The site's directory also points to a "Songwriters, Photos, Bio's, Published & Unpublished Works" section for browsing the people and catalog behind the music.

The Primary Songwriter: Will Goldstein

According to the site, Will Goldstein writes and produces the bulk of The King's Court catalog. Two things define his output:

• Source material: songs are "often based on scripture or spiritual themes from the Bible." The site sums this up as "Scripture comes to life in the music of The King's Court."
• Range: the music spans "a variety of musical styles," which the site says is expressed in its logo.

The stated ministry purpose behind the songwriting is broad: to convict listeners of the need for a Savior, lead people to Christ, teach Christian virtue and maturity, help memorize scripture, announce biblical prophecy, worship, and "carry the spiritual flame of revival." That mission statement is a useful filter when you are deciding whether the catalog fits a particular service or teaching context.

Goldstein's teaching also appears on video: the site directs visitors to Youtube@thekingscourt for "the teaching of Will Goldstein," separate from the music streaming links.

The Collaboration: Jeanne Brickman

Jeanne Brickman joined Will Goldstein to co-produce two musicals based on the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible, and the pair have since added a third title, The King's Highway. If you are planning a larger program rather than individual worship songs, these musicals are the part of the catalog to look at first.

Where to See the Full List of Writers and Works

The site's directory lists a "Songwriters, Photos, Bio's, Published & Unpublished Works" section as the place to browse the people and catalog. Use it when you need to:

• confirm who wrote a specific song before crediting it;
• check whether a work is published or unpublished;
• read bios and see photos of the songwriters.

Because the directory distinguishes published from unpublished works, it is worth checking there before assuming a title is available through normal licensing channels.

What This Means If You Lead Worship or Plan a Program

The site describes the music as "ideal for pastors, music directors, worship team leaders & members, or anyone interested in singing songs related to the Christian faith," and notes that free PDF songbooks are affiliated with CCLI Song Select for use in church worship services. The King's Court also states it has a licensing agreement with CCLI for the collection of royalties regarding usage — relevant if you are reporting song use after a service.

A Practical Check Before You Use a Song

1. Open the songwriters/works directory and find the title you plan to use.
2. Note whether it is listed as published or unpublished, and who the writer is.
3. If you need sheet music, download the matching free PDF songbook in lead sheet format.
4. If you will perform or reproduce the song in a service, confirm the CCLI coverage and report usage as your church normally does.

The one gap to keep in mind: the site presents itself as a resource hub, but the details of any individual title — arrangement, key, or suitability for your ensemble — are best confirmed by opening the actual songbook or listening to the streaming links before committing a service to it.
