We believe in Honesty.
A wholehearted pursuit of honesty, marked by candor, transparency, and humility – seeking integrity in all we say and do.
We believe in Courage.
To learn and lead with courage, having the patience and determination to do the right thing, not the expected or the expedient thing.
We believe in Learning.

We offer our lives and our work as a living sacrifice of worship, trusting God to transform all things for His glory.
OUR JOURNEY
When you partner with us through Integrated Music Rights, you engage our team as extra eyes and ears to join dots between your ministry and the wider Church.
Integrity is on a multi-year journey to help the global Church fall in love with the idea of God's people truly functioning as an interdependent priesthood, where every person, family, congregation, tribe, language, culture, ethnicity and nationality owns its priestly responsibility in the worship movement – first, to bring their God-given gifts and talents into the life of the Church, and second, to sing their own song.
In this regard, we partner with diverse movements, networks, churches, songwriters and worship leaders, who are writing important songs and creating useful content. We desire to work with distinctive artists and songwriters who are humble, truthful, generous, and magnetic - and who are uniquely innovative in their musical giftedness. We support what God is doing in their local contexts, and in turn we facilitate spaces and shared opportunities to collaborate, create, and deliver new music which connects Christians from all traditions in order that everyone has a part to play.
OUR ARTISTS & SONGS
With an ever-growing roster of artists and songwriters, our goal is to create a network that feels like family and reflects the beauty and diversity of the global church. With a rich tapestry of unexpected discoveries and songs that become anthems within the lives of individual believers and local churches around the world, we want to connect people with songs that transform lives by helping people experience and know Jesus.
Here’s a playlist that includes a handful of examples of the artists and songs that are making an impact now:
