In addition to putting aside record label affiliations, the Christian music artists also waived their claims to royalties from the songs and copyrights to the songs.
All proceeds derived from the songs written during the retreat will go directly to charity. Half will go to the charity of the songwriters' choice and the other half will go towards a charitable programme to be selected later by the songwriters.
Royalties will go directly to copyright holder Compassionart - based in Littlehampton, England - which will then distribute the money to the charities of choice.
Other participating artists were Paul Baloche, Stu Garrard (Delirious?), Israel Houghton, Tim Hughes, Graham Kendrick, Andy Park and Matt Redman.
Chris Tomlin, who cancelled plans to attend due to a short-term illness, called on Wednesday to express his disappointment for not making the retreat but said he was "excited" to hear about the event's fruits.
Renowned Christian speaker Joyce Meyer had joined the gathering, leading a morning devotional.
Baloche, author of the worship favorite "Open the Eyes of My Heart", said one of the most memorable aspects of the retreat was the deep friendships he formed.
"I can't even tell you how rewarding it was to hang out [with] people who really get you and what you're about," he said.
"It's a great way to start a new year, that's for sure. That deep connection has made all the difference in collaborating together."
