contemporary Christian
Current faith genre
Contemporary Christian describes music, art, or media created by Christians for Christian audiences using modern popular styles rather than traditional hymns or classical forms.
The term emerged in the 1970s as gospel music absorbed rock, pop, and later hip-hop influences.
Contemporary Christian music (CCM) dominates Christian radio and features artists like Amy Grant and TobyMac.
The youth group played contemporary Christian worship songs.
