Finding entertainment that reflects your values — stories that are honest, courageous, and family-friendly — shouldn't require endless scrolling through content you'd rather skip. Angel Studios exists to solve that problem, building a streaming platform and theatrical studio where the audience, not Hollywood executives, decides what gets made.^1
Angel's model is genuinely different from anything else in entertainment. Through their "Angel Guild" membership (now 2.6 million paying members), viewers vote on upcoming film and show proposals, greenlight projects they believe in, and help fund theatrical releases through their pioneering "Pay It Forward" ticket model — which lets moviegoers purchase tickets for strangers to see a film for free.^5 The result is a growing library of 1,000+ titles spanning original series, feature films, documentaries, and clean comedy specials, all curated by their community.^2
Founded in 2013 by brothers Neal, Jeffrey, and Jordan Harmon — Idaho farm kids turned tech entrepreneurs who previously co-founded VidAngel and the Harmon Brothers ad agency (the minds behind Squatty Potty and Purple Mattress ads) — Angel grew out of a simple desire: finding better stories for their own children. Neal Harmon, CEO and father of ten, has said the company's mission is to "amplify light" by telling stories that are "true, honest, noble, just, authentic, lovely, admirable, and excellent."^3 In July 2026, the Harmon brothers irrevocably transferred more than 10 million super-voting Class B shares to a new Angel Mission Trust — modeled on Patagonia and Hershey — to preserve that mission for generations after they're gone.^5
Why Christians Love It"This show has given me scripture and knowledge of where to find my Lord especially when I need Him most. I look at it as an offering for the Lord so we all may bring our lost brother or sister out there closer to God."^2
"This gave us a wonderful opportunity to not just share the gospel story, but explore the humanity of Jesus... You only ENHANCED the biblical script and didn't change it in any way." — A parent whose 14-year-old son put down his phone and started asking questions about Jesus after watching together^2
"This series is so incredible… It makes me feel a closeness to Christ that I've never experienced. Also it has helped me understand the magnitude of what he did."^2

Creator Dallas Jenkins has said the split is permanent and a reunion is "unlikely"; the show now streams through the Come and See Foundation and Amazon Prime Video.^14
