Beginning in the 1970s and developing out of the [[Jesus movement]], the [[Christian music industry]] subsequently developed into a near-billion dollar enterprise. By the 1990s the genre had eclipsed classical, jazz, and [[new-age music]], and artists began gaining acceptance in the general market. There are several programs of schooling that have been created to create new christian artists such as [[Hillsong College]] in Norwest, Australia, and [https://visible.edu/ Visible Christian College] in Memphis, TN U.S.A.

Other famous artists include [[Chris Tomlin]], [[Casting Crowns]], [[Amy Grant]], and [[Skillet (band)|Skillet]].
