Here are the best 10 Christian movies on Netflix to watch—
1. A Week Away (2021)
A musical, A Week Away is Netflix’s latest faith movie release starring Kevin Quinn and Bailee Madison. Troubled teenager Will Hawkins (Quinn) has two choices after he has a run-in with the law: go to juvie or choose Christian summer camp. The latter more appealing, Will begrudgingly attends camp where he finds a surprising connection in the last place he expected to open his heart to love.
2. Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable (2019)
Since Netflix pulled Soul Surfer, the dramatic Christian movie based on the inspiring true story of Bethany Hamilton, it’s since replaced the movie with Hamilton’s 2019 documentary. Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable is about the young surfer’s life after the shark attack that seemingly defined her—spoiler alert: It didn’t. As much as faith and prayer was a thematic element in Soul Surfer, Unstoppable is Hamilton’s story of a longing for a happy, healthy marriage, becoming a mother, and her strength and courage both on and off the surf.
3. Blue Miracle (2021)
Starring Jimmy Gonzales, Dennis Quaid, and Anthony Gonzalez, Blue Miracle is the true story about a guardian and his kids finding an unlikely partnership with a boat captain in order to win a fishing competition and save their boys-only orphanage in Mexico. Perhaps you can find faith even out on the water.
4. God Bless the Broken Road (2018)
To borrow a quote from God Bless the Broken Road, it’s times like these you really need to lean on your faith. After Amber’s husband is killed in combat, she must find strength in her relationship with God in order to stay afloat, make ends meet and raise her daughter. Starring Patrika Darbo, Kim Delaney and Jordin Sparks, this is a beautiful movie about how grief isn’t just an end, but maybe also, a new beginning. No longer available to stream on Netflix, you can, however, still rent God Bless the Broken Road via Netflix’s DVD plan.
5. Come Sunday (2018)
Based on real-life, Come Sunday tells the story of Carlton Pearson, an internationally-renowned pastor who makes headlines when he begins to question church doctrine and ultimately, his faith.
6. God Calling (2018)
Devastation and grief after losing a child lead Sade into a suicidal depression. But somehow, somewhere in her suffering, she finds her way back to her faith, proving not all hope is lost.
7. Fatima (2020)
Fatima takes place in 1917 Portugal. Three children claim to see visions of the Virgin Mary, who passes on a message of unwavering faith. But not everyone is on board with the message; families, neighbors, and even the local authorities raise suspicions as a community divides over the visions.
8. Mary Magdalene (2019)
Starring Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix as Mary and Jesus respectively, Mary Magdalene is the spiritual story of twelve men who heard the message of jesus, but the one woman who understood what the message meant.
9. The Young Messiah (2016)
The Young Messiah tells the story of God’s son, Jesus Christ. When he was seven years old, Jesus and his family left Egypt to return to Nazareth. A beautiful movie that tells the story from Jesus’ young perspective as he grows and evolves into the spiritual icon we know of and praise today, this film is a meaningful educational tool for families and children to learn of Jesus.
10. Full Count (2019)
Once at the top of his game and full of potential, Milton Young suddenly loses it all: his father, his dream of playing professional baseball and his family’s farm. But he might just find out that through faith, things—even seemingly terrible things—have a way of working themselves out.
