Finding clean entertainment the whole family can trust shouldn't feel like searching for a needle in a haystack — but for many Christian households, scrolling through mainstream streaming services means dodging content that clashes with their values. Great American Pure Flix exists to end that struggle, offering a dedicated streaming library of faith-forward, family-safe movies and series you can press play on with confidence.^1
Pure Flix was co-founded in 2005 by David A.R. White — a pastor's son from a small Mennonite farming town outside Dodge City, Kansas, who felt called by the Holy Spirit to move to Los Angeles at 19 and pursue acting. After landing roles on shows like Burt Reynolds' "Evening Shade" and producing faith-based films through the late '90s and 2000s, White helped launch what would become the world's largest Christian movie production and distribution company. "I wear this label of Christian filmmaker proudly," White has said. "I want to live my life the way Jesus does — I want to love people."^2 In 2026, White received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Global Short Film Awards Gala in Cannes. The streaming platform launched in 2015, and in 2020 Sony Pictures Television acquired the service. Then in June 2023, Pure Flix merged with Great American Media to form Great American Pure Flix — combining Pure Flix's faith-and-family streaming catalog with Great American Media's linear TV channels under one roof.^3 CEO Bill Abbott has described the vision clearly: "We are the leading streaming provider of faith and family content... It is entertainment without compromise. We'll never compromise our standards or let our viewers down."^5
Today the platform offers unlimited streaming of uplifting Christian movies, original series, powerful dramas, clean romcoms, documentaries, and a dedicated kids section called The Ark Club featuring titles like VeggieTales and Superbook. New and exclusive content drops every week — including original series like County Rescue (Season 3 now streaming new episodes weekly), The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries starring Candace Cameron Bure, When Hope Calls: Brookfield (renewed for a fourth season premiering Spring 2027), and Crossroad Springs (whose second season is now in production for a Fall 2026 premiere).^6 June 2026 brought the Pure Flix Original God's Country Song (a Father's Day release exploring fatherhood and grace, starring Justin Gaston) and the exclusive Pardoned by Grace (Joey Lawrence in the true story of Scott Highberger's journey from addiction and incarceration to ministry).^7 Great American Christmas in July returned June 26, with festive originals dropping through the summer, and the flagship Great American Christmas 2026 lineup is already in production — including A Christmas Prayer 2 (a sequel to the 2026 Movieguide Epiphany Prize winner) and Christmas at the Starlight, pairing Mario Lopez and Tony Danza as father and son.^8 In April 2026, Great American Pure Flix exclusively livestreamed America Reads the Bible — a weeklong, cover-to-cover public reading of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation at Washington D.C.'s Museum of the Bible, featuring 475+ national leaders and 115 ministries over seven days. The platform also partnered with Prison Fellowship to bring Restoring Hope, a collection of powerful stories of redemption from formerly incarcerated individuals, to streaming audiences nationwide.^9
