Editing Jesus movement (section)

===Legacy===
Although the Jesus movement lasted no more than a decade (except for the [[Jesus People USA]] which continues to exist in Chicago), its influence on [[Christian culture]] can still be seen. Thousands of converts moved into leadership positions in churches and [[parachurch organization]]s. The informality of the Jesus movement's music and worship affected almost all evangelical churches.{{sfnp|Payne|2024}} Some of the fastest-growing U.S. denominations of the late 20th century, such as [[Calvary Chapel]],{{sfnp|Ream|2024}} Hope Chapel Churches, Victory Outreach, [[Association of Vineyard Churches|Vineyard Churches]], and [[Sovereign Grace Churches]], trace their roots directly back to the Jesus movement, as do parachurch organizations like [[Jews for Jesus]] and the [[contemporary Christian music]] industry.{{sfnp|Payne|2024}} Perhaps the most significant and lasting influence, however, was the growth of an emerging strand within evangelical Christianity that appealed to the contemporary youth culture'''.'''<ref>Stella Lau, ''Popular Music in Evangelical Youth Culture'', Routledge, Abingdon-on-Thames, 2013, p. 33</ref><ref>Bruce David Forbes, Jeffrey H.

The culture of youth began to change far before the Jesus Movement of the '60's/'70s. Billy Graham, one of the leading evangelists of this time, started to see changes in youth during the late 1940s. Through the 1960s, college campuses all across the country were beginning to add campus ministries. Some of the organizations for this were [[Cru (Christian organization)|Campus Crusade for Christ]], [[Fellowship of Christian Athletes]], and [[InterVarsity Christian Fellowship]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Eskridge |first=Larry |date=1998 |title="One Way": Billy Graham, the Jesus Generation, and the Idea of an Evangelical Youth Culture |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3170772 |journal=Church History |volume=67 |issue=1 |pages=83–106 |doi=10.2307/3170772 |jstor=3170772 |issn=0009-6407|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

[[Jesus music]], which grew out of the movement, was very influential in the creation of various subgenres of contemporary Christian music during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, such as [[Jesus Culture]] and [[Hillsong Music|Hillsong]] in both America and the UK.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.schooloftherock.com/html/a_brief_history_of_contemporar.html|title=A Brief History of Contemporary Christian Music|website=schooloftherock.com|access-date=March 6, 2018}}</ref> This also led to the inclusion of new musical instruments in churches all over the world, such as guitars and drums, in addition to traditional musical instruments such as pianos and organs. Music in other parts of the world was also greatly influenced by the Jesus Movement, such as music in Central America. In Central America, [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] churches under the charismatic movement began to compose spiritual music called ''coros'' (fast-paced hymns) which is normally accompanied by dancing as worship.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ag.org/top/beliefs/sptlissues_manifestations.cfm |title=Manifestations of the Spirit |access-date=August 26, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726123339/http://www.ag.org/top/Beliefs/sptlissues_manifestations.cfm |archive-date=July 26, 2009 }}</ref>
