1970s Jesus Movement

The 1970s Jesus Movement was a Christian revival centered among young people in the United States, emphasizing personal faith, community, and compassionate service. It emerged from countercultural trends, combining contemporary music, outdoor gatherings, and Bible study. Many participants sought a genuine, emotional connection with Jesus Christ, often rejecting traditional religious institutions. The movement influenced new Christian music genres like worship and praise, and it helped spark the growth of evangelical Christianity. Overall, it was a grassroots effort to make faith accessible and relevant to the youth of that era.
