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 The streaming platform launched in 2015 under CEO Michael Scott, 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
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, Franklin, and Bibleman. New and exclusive content drops every week, and you can stream on up to 5 screens simultaneously in HD across iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio smart TVs, and web browsers.^1
Why Christians Love Pure Flix: "I was a Pure Flix member years ago. The selections were not that many. Now the selections are multiple and you add new movies every week. I love watching true story-based movies that reflect the character of God in people. I've recommended the app to several."^5 Families consistently praise the peace of mind Pure Flix provides — as one reviewer shared, "I'm always a fan of Pure Flix movies. They are safe to watch with our family and leave us feeling inspired and encouraged."^6 Another user on the Play Store wrote: "Love the content of Pureflix. There are lots of great shows and movies to choose from. I love the children's shows and that I don't have to worry about their content."^7 With original series like County Rescue, The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries, and Brookfield, and a growing catalog that includes both beloved classics and new exclusives, Pure Flix has become the go-to streaming home for families who want entertainment without compromise.
In 2025, Great American Media announced a major expansion with Pure Flix Premium — an enhanced tier featuring exclusive screenings, live events, early access, and an expanded slate of Scripture-based content, devotionals, and discipleship programming.^8
