| | Contemporary Christian music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Contemporary Christian Music (referred to frequently by the abbreviation CCM and sometimes called Christian pop music) is a genre of popular music which is lyrically focused on matters concerned with the Christian faith. |
 | | Finally, artists who write music with a borderline Christian theme are usually considered CCM based on their other work and history: for example, Thousand Foot Krutch, Relient K, or Switchfoot are considered CCM, whereas U2 or Creed are considered not. |
 | | Additionally, they say, many Christian leaders have historically encouraged Christian music to have a contemporary sound; such leaders include Martin Luther, John Wesley and Charles Wesley of the Methodist movement, Aimee Semple McPherson, and perhaps even the writer of the biblical Psalms (though, strictly speaking, that writer was Jewish, not Christian). |
