The Jesus Movement

The Jesus Movement was a Christian revival that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States, primarily among young people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It emphasized a personal relationship with Jesus, communal living, and social justice, often blending traditional Christian values with contemporary cultural elements like music and lifestyle. This movement gave rise to the contemporary Christian music genre and inspired many to embrace a more authentic, grassroots expression of faith. It also led to the growth of new religious communities and has had a lasting impact on modern evangelicalism and Christian practices.
