Kingsway Communications (known as Kingsway) is a prominent British literature and music publisher of Christian material. It is one of the largest media related companies working the field of Christian interest.[1] Since 1993, Kingsway has been a subsidiary of David C. Cook.[2] Historically, it sprang from a 1977 merger of Victory Press, previously a publishing house of the Elim Pentecostal Church, and Coverdale House, a subsidiary of the American-based Tyndale House Publishers.[3]

In December 2015 it was announced that Kingway will be rebranded by its US parent company, David C. Cook as "Integrity Music".[1]
