Online ministry announces its first quarter, 2009 calendar of events.

For 2009, the ministry of Christian Music Review (ChristianMusicReview.org) will continue its founding purpose, a focus on message first, because message matters.  On the heels of its 4th straight year of growth, the popular online Christian music review site plans to:

1.    Host new contests and promotions in a continued partnership with Christian artists, record labels and movie promoters.
2.    Release new updates to its website and ministry services.
3.    Continue offering readers a biblical perspective on the music and messages released by today’s top artists and producers.

Through these efforts, Christian Music Review (CMR) will continue to fulfill its commitment to its readers, follow its unique calling, and offer accountability for listeners by promoting creative works produced in accordance with Christian principles outlined in God’s Word.  By focusing on message first in 2009, CMR will continue challenging the status quo in an ever evolving Christian industry struggling to maintain the balance between spirituality and popular appeal.

Christian Music Review invites friends, artists, publicists and readers to participate and benefit from the following upcoming first quarter, 2009 calendar of events:
