Integrity is creating the site “to serve as a platform to help dynamic churches share their songs, CDs, media and messages with the body of Christ worldwide,” Craig Dunnagan, Integrity's vice president of music publishing and strategic marketing, said in a statement.

The Web site's launch is scheduled to coincide with the July 11 release of Living for You, a new CD release from Dallas-based Gateway Church, which is a major contributor of content for the site. The CD will include companion resources such as a bonus DVD with five live worship videos, lyrics, PDF chord charts and a link to download three free additional songs.

Gateway is one of more than 18 initial churches to serve as content providers for GlobalWorshipNow.com. It is joined by 10 other churches from the U.S., as well as churches from Zimbabwe, Singapore, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

“Our goal with GlobalWorshipNow.com is to intentionally harvest songs and resource materials from churches around the world,” said Michael Coleman, co-founder of Integrity Music and president of Integrity Media. “The future ministry potential for the site is vast … from providing new songs and instructional content to actually helping to equip missionaries with materials in their own languages.”
