Christian (often shortened to Christian music or CCM in market terms) is an umbrella genre for popular and worship-oriented music whose lyrics explicitly express the Christian faith. It blends contemporary songwriting and production with devotional intent, ranging from pop and rock to folk, country, and modern worship anthems designed for congregational singing. While rooted in centuries of church music and hymnody, the modern "Christian" genre coalesced in the late 1960s United States with the Jesus Movement, later building its own labels, radio networks, and touring circuits. Today it includes radio-friendly CCM, stadium worship, youth-focused pop/rock, and stylistic fusions that carry Christian themes into nearly every mainstream style.

“Música adventist” refers to sacred music associated with the Seventh-day Adventist tradition. It is primarily congregational and devotional, centered on Christian hymnody and worship songs that emphasize themes such as the Second Coming (Advent), Sabbath rest, hope, salvation, and mission. Musically, it ranges from traditional Western hymn styles and choral arrangements to contemporary worship-pop and gospel-influenced forms, depending on region and era. The core aesthetic prioritizes clear texts, singable melodies, and reverent performance suited to worship settings.
