Integrity Music is part of the David C Cook nonprofit group. Founded as a direct-to-consumer music club in 1987 as Integrity Music, Integrity was at the forefront of contemporary worship music's widespread popularity of praise and worship music. Integrity publishes many of the top songs in the Church, including "We Believe" (Newsboys). The label has also translated albums into Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Indonesian, Cantonese, Russian, Dutch, French and Portuguese.[not verified in body]

History

Since 1983, the label has produced the popular Hosanna!

Also in 2002, the firm purchased the Nashville-based record label INO Records.

The label also released the soundtrack to the film The Passion of the Christ[2] and the Time-Life-advertised Songs 4 Worship collections.[3] In 2004, co-founder and chairman Michael Coleman took Integrity private.[4]

In 2005, Integrity Music and INO Records began distribution through Sony BMG as part of the Provident Label Group.[5] Integrity also sells music, film and digital media via direct mail and Internet sales, as well as direct mail greeting cards through DaySpring/Hallmark.[citation needed]
