Up until the late 1960s, Christian music invoked images of church, hymnals, and organs. Traditional was the word of the day... but not anymore. The face of Christian music has spent the last 30+ years evolving and growing.
Pipe organs have been set aside for electric guitars and drums. Hymnals have been replaced by hard-hitting lyrics that speak of today and a God that is fully in control of our times. Christian music has gone farther than the church and can be found on radio, TV, in concert halls, and at huge rallies and festivals. It has expanded to include a vast array of styles. Rock, metal, rap, country, gospel, urban gospel, easy listening, and pop are all covered so regardless of your taste in music style, today's Christian can find something of interest to listen to.
Christian music boasts its own video shows, radio stations, awards, publications, and websites. The change itself hasn't been overnight. It has taken many years. It has required sacrifices from artists who weren't afraid to go against tradition and wanted to make music that kept up with the changing times.
