当代基督CCM / Contemporary Christian Music

当代基督教音乐（英语：Contemporary Christian music，简称CCM，又称当代福音音乐、现代基督教音乐、现代福音音乐、流行基督教音乐和流行福音音乐，中性名字为励志音乐），是一种音乐形式，歌词重点在于抒发对于基督教信仰的情感。 当代基督教音乐通常用以代表来自美国田纳西州纳许维尔的摇滚、流行和福音音乐。

现今，当代基督教音乐较为华人所熟知的的歌手或乐队有阿瓦隆乐队（Avalon）、艾米·格兰特（Amy Grant）、巴洛女孩乐队、铸冠乐队、克里斯·汤姆林（Chris Tomlin）、城市丰收教会、戴夫·巴恩斯（Dave Barnes）、大卫克劳德乐队、癫狂?乐队（Delirious?）、山丘之歌教会、泥土壶子乐队、杰里米·坎普(Jeremy Thomas Camp)、约书亚乐队（Joshuaband）、怜悯我乐队、迈克尔·W·史密斯（Michael W. Smith）、娜塔莉·格兰特（Natalie Grant）、新闻男孩乐队、星球震动者乐队、丽蓓嘉·圣·詹姆斯（Rebecca St. James）、斯蒂夫·科蒂斯·查普曼（Steven Curtis Chapman）、第三天乐队、托比麦克等等。许多乐队都没有正式的中文译名，在此大都暂译列出。

较著名的当代基督教音乐排行如Billboard杂志的Top Christian Albums和Hot Christian Songs。而在iTunes Store内，则以分类“Christian & Gospel”代表。相关奖项有福音音乐协会圣鸽奖。

此外，还有很多的流行音乐也抒发了对于基督教信仰的情感，但那些作品通常并没有认定为当代基督教音乐。例如很多的地下和不健康的歌手或组合虽然也发表了抒发对于基督徒题材的作品，但是并不属于当代基督教音乐。同时，一些主流的音乐歌手或组合有时候也会发表基督徒题材的作品，例如：鲍勃·迪伦和U2乐队，亦不是当代基督教音乐。

Contemporary Christian music (or CCM—and occasionally "inspirational music") is a genre of modern popular music which is lyrically focused on matters concerned with the Christian faith. Today, the term is typically used to refer to pop, rock, or praise & worship styles. Artists representing the genre include MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, Third Day, Matthew West, tobyMac, Chris Tomlin, Brandon Heath and Aaron Shust. Historically, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, dc Talk, Steven Curtis Chapman, Newsboys and Michael W. Smith have also belonged to this genre.

The industry is represented by the Billboard Christian Albums, Hot Christian Songs Hot Christian AC (Adult Contemporary), Christian CHR, Soft AC/Inspirational, and Christian Digital Songs charts. On the iTunes Store, the genre is represented as part of the Christian and gospel genre.

Alternative sub-genres such as Christian punk, Christian hardcore, Christian metal and Christian hip hop, although not normally considered CCM, can also come under the genre's umbrella. Contemporary worship music is also incorporated in modern CCM. Contemporary worship is both recorded and performed during church services.

Several mainstream artists, such as The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Elvis Presley, Creed, Lifehouse and U2, have dealt with Christian themes in their music, yet are not part of the CCM industry.
