History
Originally founded as a direct-to-consumer music club in 1987, the company grew into one of Christian music’s biggest success stories and in the process helped ignite the widespread popularity of contemporary praise and worship music.
In 2002, Integrity changed its corporate identity from Integrity Music to Integrity Media to better reflect its growth and development. That same year, Integrity purchased the Nashville-based label INO Records, home to artists MercyMe, SONICFLOOd, Darlene Zschech, Sara Groves and The Afters among others. This added greatly to Integrity’s artist roster which already included notables Don Moen, Hillsong Music, Paul Baloche and the GRAMMY Award-winning Israel and New Breed.
Together, Integrity Music and INO Records are the top independent labels in the Christian music marketplace. Their strong retail presence is due to distribution into both the Christian (Provident-Integrity Distribution) and mainstream (Columbia/Sony-BMG Distribution) marketplaces.
In addition to a retail focus, Integrity maintains its thriving Direct Response division that provides the same music, film and digital products via direct mail and Internet sales (www.integritydirect.com, www.worshipkitchen.com). Integrity also offers a unique direct mail club that provides original, inspirational greeting cards created in partnership with DaySpring/HallMark.
Integrity’s metamorphosis into a full-fledged media company is part of its ongoing commitment to providing Christ-centered products and resources to individuals, families and the Church worldwide.
