List of notable folk and folk rock Contemporary Christian Music artists.
The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music (2002) defines CCM as "music that appeals to self-identified fans of contemporary Christian music on account of a perceived connection to what they regard as Christianity".[1] Based on this definition, this list includes artists that work in the Christian music industry as well as artists in the general market.
Note: Because classifying music by genre can be arbitrary, these groupings are generalized and many artists appear on multiple lists.
