There are two main parts to Parachute Music: The recording label and the festival. Both of these are used to work towards the goal of Parachute Music - "To take New Zealand Christian music to unprecedented levels & to use music both locally and globally to move people closer to Jesus Christ." This is achieved through using music, which is one of the best ways to reach people today.
