Melding everything that has made the above genres into powerhouse crowd drawers, the Christian music genre has exploded in recent years.

Utilizing the kind of uplifting and inspirational lyrics that its fans are so attracted to, Christian music has found its way into the mainstream.

Switchfoot, a band occasionally seated among the top levels of the pop and rock music charts, is an openly Christian rock band, along with names like Flyleaf, Mercy Me, and Relient K.

The Christian music banner does not simply apply to the same gospels and hymns that have for decades filled churches across the nation.

Today it is home to arena filling rock bands, energetic dance music, and a whole new wave of inspired hip hop and rap music.
