Jesus Movement

In the late 1960s and early 1970s and spreading primarily through North America and Europe. It was the major Christian element within the hippie counterculture, or, conversely, the major hippie element within some strands of Protestantism. Members of the movement were called Jesus people, or Jesus freaks.Slide8

Jesus Music

Large numbers of hippies and street musicians began converting to born-again Christianity.

These musicians continued playing the same styles of music that they had been playing prior to their conversion, though they now infused their lyrics with a Christian message.Slide9

CCM Magazine

Christian Music Industrialized

The first edition of CCM Magazine was published in July, 1977. By 1976, it was apparent that a new generation of performers who had grown up in the church wanted to play non-secular pop and rock music for other Christians. By the end of the 1970s the term "Jesus music" fell out of use as the movement was replaced by the industrySlide10

Interests of contemporary style worship and the growing the popularity of large scale worship events have helped changing the landscape to worship music.Slide14

Maranatha! Music

Maranatha

! Music

 began as a non-profit outreach of 

Calvary Chapel

 in 1971. The 

Jesus People

 of the late 1960s and early 1970s began to write new 

hymns

 and worship songs with a 

folk-rock

 style.

Maranatha

! Music was founded at this time in order to publish and promote this new type of Christian music. Founder 

Chuck Smith

 eventually sold the label to his nephew Chuck Fromm.Slide15

Vineyard Music (not the Movement)

One of the most important aspects of the Vineyard church model is the strong emphasis on connecting with God through worship.

Worship

in the Vineyard almost always is performed in a 

contemporary worship

 format, with a multi-piece band leading worship, but is not restricted to this style

. The

unique nature of this 

contemporary worship music

 (especially unique in the 70’s and 80’s, when most mainstream denominations limited their worship to more traditional hymns) gained a lot of interest, and led to the formation of a special music ministry, later formed into a church-supported music recording and distribution company,

Passion Conference

Passion Conferences

 is a 

Christian

 organization (also referred to as 

the 268 Generation

, originally named 

Choice Ministries

), founded by Louie

Giglio

 and Jeff Lewis in 1997, known for their annual spiritual awakening gatherings of young adults, more specifically college students. The organization is also responsible for 

sixstepsrecords

, the Passion Worship CDs, and the

OneDay

gatherings. The first conference was Passion 97 in 

Austin, Texas

, and the headquarters are now in 

Alpharetta, Georgia

.

[1]

 The organization lists its purpose as "...uniting students in worship and prayer for spiritual awakening in this generation," using 

Isaiah 26:8

 as their theme verse: "Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.".Slide20
