Christian Contemporary Music

Christian Contemporary Music (or CCM) is a genre of popular music which is lyrically focused on matters concerned with the Christian faith, but appealing to a modern, often younger audience.

The term "contemporary Christian music" or "Christian contemporary music" originated in the 1970s in reference to the emerging pop and rock music coming out of the Jesus movement of the time.

The differences between Christian contemporary music, Christian rock music, Christian rap, and Christian contemporary music are fairly arbitrary, with many artists and bands flowing in and out of these genres.
