The terms Jesus movement and Jesus people were popularized by Duane Pederson in his writings for the Hollywood Free Paper. In an interview with Sean Dietrich which took place on August 19, 2006, Pederson explained that he did not coin the phrase "Jesus People"; moreover, he credited a magazine/television interviewer who asked him if he was part of the "Jesus People". As a result, Pederson was credited to be the phrase's founder.{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/interview.php?id=1|title=The Hollywood Free Paper|website=hollywoodfreepaper.org|access-date=March 6, 2018|archive-date=October 11, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011055158/http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/interview.php?id=1|url-status=dead}}

The term Jesus People is used to describe the group composed of outcast and anti-religious individuals who, during the 1960s and 1970s, turned towards the Christian faith and Jesus. They converted to Christianity and subsequently changed their lives to reflect the scripture and teachings of Jesus.{{Cite web |last=Prothero |first=Stephen |title=Mikkelsen Library {{!}} Augustana University |url=https://online.infobase.com/Auth/Index?aid=18265&itemid=WE52&articleId=192514 |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=augie.idm.oclc.org}}

During the 1970s, many younger generations were pulled away from the average structured lifestyle they were told to live, and instead turned to lifestyles that were referred to as counterculture. This new lifestyle consisted of exploring various drugs, paths of spirituality and religions. Despite the growing popularity of the counterculture, many young adults became confused, which led them to turn towards the church. People who identified as hippies came forward sharing their testimonies and the peace they found after turning towards the Jesus lifestyle.{{Cite web |last=Williams |first=Christina |date=2002 |title=W & M Scholar Works |url=https://scholarworks.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5452&&context=etd&&sei-redir=1 |access-date=April 2, 2024}}

Secular and Christian media exposure in 1971 and 1972 caused the Jesus movement to explode across the United States, which attracted evangelical youth eager to identify with the movement. While many other communes and fellowships sprang up, the Shiloh and Children of God communities attracted more new believers.

Explo '72 was an event organized by the Campus Crusade for Christ which was held at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, and involved such conservative leaders as Bill Bright and Billy Graham. Many of the 80,000 young Jesus People attending Explo '72 discovered for the first time these and other traditional avenues of Christian worship and experience. Although Explo '72 marked the high-water mark of media interest, the Jesus movement continued at a grass roots level with smaller individual groups and communities.

The movement began to subside, largely concluding by the late 1980s,David Horn, John Shepherd, Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World Volume 8: Genres: North America, Continuum International Publishing Group, USA, 2012, p. 139 but left a major influence in Christian music, youth and church life.Larry Eskridge, God's Forever Family: The Jesus People Movement in America, Oxford University Press, USA, 2013, p. 266-267

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 organizations. 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, 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.Stella Lau, Popular Music in Evangelical Youth Culture, Routledge, Abingdon-on-Thames, 2013, p. 33Bruce David Forbes, Jeffrey H. Mahan, Religion and Popular Culture in America, University of California Press, USA, 2005, p. 103Eileen Luhr, "Witnessing Suburbia: Conservatives and Christian Youth Culture'' "... University of California Press(2009) {{ISBN|0-520-25596-8}}"

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 Campus Crusade for Christ, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.{{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}}

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 in both America and the UK.{{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}} 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, Pentecostal churches under the charismatic movement began to compose spiritual music called coros (fast-paced hymns) which is normally accompanied by dancing as worship.{{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 }}

The topic was the subject of the 2023 film Jesus Revolution.

The Jesus movement was restorationist in theology, seeking to return to the original life of the early Christians. As a result, Jesus people viewed churches, especially those in the United States, as apostate, and took a decidedly countercultural political stance in general. The theology of the Jesus movement also called for a return to simple living and asceticism in some cases. The Jesus people had a strong belief in miracles, signs and wonders, faith, healing, prayer, the Bible, and powerful works of the Holy Spirit. For example, a revival at Asbury College in 1970 grabbed the attention of the mainstream news media and became known nationwide.{{cite web|url=http://forerunner.com/forerunner/X0585_Asbury_Revival_1970.html |title=A Revival Account Asbury 1970 |date=March 2008 |access-date=October 26, 2012 |publisher=The Forerunner |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719035126/http://forerunner.com/forerunner/X0585_Asbury_Revival_1970.html |archive-date=July 19, 2011 }}{{cite book | title = One Divine Moment | author= David J.

The movement tended towards evangelism and millennialism. Charismatic manifestations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit were not uncommon. Some of the books read by those within the movement included Ron Sider's Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger and Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth.{{Cite book |last=Eskridge |first=Larry |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ly4DgtT3LkC |title=The Encyclopedia of Christianity |date=1999 |publisher=Wm.

The Jesus movement also had a communal aspect. The commune of Graham Pulkingham was described in his book They Left Their Nets.

The expansion of the Jesus Movement among young people was encouraged and spread through the practice of baptisms; moreover, the West Coast was a popular location for these "mass baptisms". Another popular practice within the movement was evangelism, which is the act of spreading the Gospel; furthermore, because of active evangelism, thousands of young students in southern states converted and began living Jesus-focused lives.

There has been a long legacy of Christian music being connected to the Jesus movement. Jesus music, referred to as gospel beat music in the UK, primarily began when street musicians of the late 1960s and early 1970s converted to Christianity.Don Cusic, Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music: Pop, Rock, and Worship: Pop, Rock, and Worship, ABC-CLIO, USA, 2009, p. 269 They kept playing the same style of music they had played before, but they began to write lyrics containing a Christian message. Many music groups started out of this, and some became leaders within the Jesus movement, most notably Barry McGuire, Love Song, Second Chapter of Acts, All Saved Freak Band, Servant, Petra, Resurrection Band, Phil Keaggy, Paul Clark, Dion DiMucci, Paul Stookey[http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/people/nps.htm Paul Noel Stookey's 1968 conversion.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417232254/http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/people/nps.htm |date=April 17, 2009 }} of Peter, Paul, and Mary; Randy Stonehill, Randy Matthews, Andraé Crouch (and the Disciples), Nancy Honeytree, Keith Green, and Larry Norman. The Joyful Noise Band traveled with a Christian community throughout the US and Europe, and they performed in festivals that were held underneath giant tents. In the UK, Malcolm and Alwyn were the most notable agents of the gospel beat.{{sfnp|Payne|2024}}

The Jesus People: Old-Time Religion in the Age of Aquarius by Enroth, Ericson, and Peters stated that Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California founded the first Christian rock labels when he launched the Maranatha! Music label in 1971 as an outlet for the Jesus music bands performing at Calvary worship services.{{sfnp|Ream|2024}} However, in 1970 Larry Norman recorded, produced, and released two albums: Street Level"Superstar", Hollywood Free Paper 2:23 (December 1, 1970), http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/archive.php?id=29 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706205735/http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/archive.php?id=29 |date=July 6, 2009 }} and Born Twice for Randy Stonehill.{{cite web |url=http://www.meetjesushere.com/born_twice.htm |title=Born Twice |access-date=May 17, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720084646/http://www.meetjesushere.com/born_twice.htm |archive-date=July 20, 2011 }} on his own label, One Way Records.While it is claimed that Norman borrowed $3,000 from Pat Boone to start One Way Records (see Randy Stonehill in Chris Willman, "RANDY STONEHILL: TURNING TWENTY", CCM (August 1990), http://www.nifty-music.com/stonehill/ccm0890.html), Norman denied this explicitly.

Don Finto became involved with the Belmont Avenue Church of Christ (now simply Belmont Church), an ailing old inner city church in Nashville, Tennessee,{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} YUS on Music Row between the public housing and several universities: Peabody, Vanderbilt and Belmont College etc. By the summer of 1971, the membership roll had dropped to about 75 elderly members. The church had mainstream roots in the a cappella Churches of Christ, but was transformed and firmly placed in the Jesus movement by an influx of countercultural Christians. Seating ran out, with people sitting on the windowsills or on the stage. It was not rare to find them walking the worst parts{{clarify|date=July 2022}} of Lower Broadway witnessing to prostitutes and addicts. The concerts that were held at the Koinonia Coffee House on weekends helped east coast Christian music to grow in popularity.{{sfnmp|1a1=Smith|1y=2020|2a1=Payne|2y=2024}} The house band was called Dogwood, and various musicians regularly appeared on stage, such as Dogwood, Amy Grant,{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} Brown Bannister,{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} Chris Christian, Don Francisco, Fireworks, and Annie and Steve Chapman.{{sfnp|Smith|2020}}

Chuck Smith, founder and pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, led with expositional verse-by-verse Bible studies. While he taught that the gifts seen and described in The New Testament were at work today there were Biblical restrictions on the exercise of those gifts among believers in their services. He baptized members in the Pacific Ocean. Smith was one of the few pastors who welcomed in the hippies who after coming to faith, eventually became known as Jesus people, and thus allowed for the dramatic future growth of a network of affiliate churches.{{sfnmp|1a1=Smith|1y=2020|2a1=Ream|2y=2024}}

Steve Freeman and others opened the Kingdom Come Christian Coffee House in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1971. Each Saturday night Jesus People gathered for worship, songs and fellowship. In 1972, several people who were highly involved in the Kingdom Come graduated from high schools and dispersed in several colleges and universities throughout the Southeastern United States and started a Fellowship House Church.{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} Maynard Pittendreigh, Jay Holmes, and Freeman each established one at Erskine College, the University of South Carolina, and Furman University respectively. Leadership moved from Steve Freeman to a charismatic preacher named Erskine Holt, a self-described apostle of the movement who lived in Florida. By 1973, nearly every campus throughout Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia had Fellowship House Churches. These generally died out by 1977, with many of the members moving to more traditional campus ministries. However, many moved onto similar ministries in such organizations as Calvary Chapel.{{sfnp|Ream|2024}}

In the UK, the Jesus Army (also known as the Jesus Fellowship Church and the Bugbrooke Community) was among the groups most influenced by the Jesus movement, embracing (former) hippies, bikers and drug addicts, among others. Leaders and members of the Jesus Fellowship committed abuse of children and vulnerable adults, with several receiving custodial sentences.{{cite news |url=https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/special-report-alleged-victim-of-historic-abuse-reveals-traumatic-childhood-growing-up-in-jesus-army-1-8155579 |title=SPECIAL REPORT: Alleged victim of historic abuse reveals traumatic childhood growing up in Jesus Army |last=Lynch |first=Paul |website=Northampton Chronicle |date=18 September 2017 |accessdate=19 July 2019}} The Jesus Fellowship Community Trust closed in December 2020 following the scandal, and issued a Closure Statement including an unreserved apology for the abuse that occurred in the Jesus Fellowship Church (JFC) and the residential New Creation Christian Community (NCCC).{{Cite report|url=https://jesus.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Jesus-Fellowship-Redress-Scheme-Closure-Statement-November-2021.pdf|title=Closure Statement|author=Martin Desborough, Chair of Trustees|publisher=Jesus Fellowship Community Trust|date=November 2021|access-date=July 16, 2022|archive-date=January 19, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220119112815/https://jesus.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Jesus-Fellowship-Redress-Scheme-Closure-Statement-November-2021.pdf|url-status=dead}}

The Shiloh Youth Revival Centers movement was the largest Jesus People communal movement in the United States in the 1970s. Founded by John Higgins in 1968 as a small communal house in Costa Mesa, California, the movement quickly grew into a very large movement catering mostly to disaffected college-age youth. There were 100,000 people involved and 175 communal houses established during its lifespan.{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} Two years after the movement's founding, Higgins and some of the core members of the movement bought {{convert|90|acre|m2}} of land near Dexter, Oregon and built a new headquarters which they called "The Land".{{sfnp|Simpson|2019}}

"Jesus freak" is a term arising from the late 1960s and early 1970s counterculture and is frequently used as a pejorative for those involved in the Jesus movement. As Tom Wolfe illustrates in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, the term "freak" with a preceding qualifier was a strictly neutral term and described any counterculture member with a specific interest in a given subject; hence "acid freak" and "Jesus freak".{{cite book |last=Prothero |first=S. |year=2004 |title=American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon |publisher=Farrar, Straus and Giroux |isbn=978-1466806054}} The term "freak" was in common-enough currency that Hunter S. Thompson's failed bid for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, was as a member of the "Freak Power" party.{{cite book |last=Denevi |first=T. |year=2018 |title=Freak Kingdom: Hunter S. Thompson's Manic Ten-Year Crusade Against American Fascism |publisher=PublicAffairs |isbn=978-1541767959}}

However, many later members of the movement, those misunderstanding the countercultural roots, believed the term to be negative, and co-opted and embraced the term, and its usage broadened to describe a Christian subculture throughout the hippie and back-to-the-land movements that focused on universal love and pacifism, and relished the radical nature of Jesus' message. Jesus freaks often carried and distributed copies of the Good News for Modern Man,{{cite web |url=http://www.washedred.com/content/?contentID=14 |title=Musician Barry McGuire's Testimony: Eve of Destruction |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100407002708/http://www.washedred.com/content/?contentID=14 |website=WashedRed.com |archive-date=2010-04-07 |access-date=December 8, 2011}} a 1966 translation of the New Testament written in modern English. In Australia, and other countries, the term "Jesus freak", along with "Bible basher", is still used in a derogatory manner. In Germany, there is a Christian youth culture, also called Jesus Freaks International, that claims to have its roots in the U.S. movement.{{cite web |url=http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/article.php?id=13 |title=The new Jesus Freaks Movement in Europe |last=Pederson |first=Duane |year=2009 |website=The Hollywood Free Paper |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723071203/http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/article.php?id=13 |archive-date=2011-07-23}}
