You don’t have to look very hard to find crude content on Netflix. It’s so bad, in fact, that a 2023 Parents Television and Media Council study found that 62 percent of Netflix titles are rated TV-MA for mature, while only 14 percent are rated TV-PG.But perhaps surprisingly, you don’t have to look very hard to find solid Christian content on Netflix, either. In fact, Netflix has quietly compiled one of the most impressive libraries of faith-based titles in recent months, with a mixture of hit movies, under-the-radar titles, and even a few toe-tapping musicals.Of course, if faith-based movies are your primary form of entertainment, then you’d be better served to subscribe to a different service altogether.But if you already subscribe to Netflix and enjoy Christian films, then you’ve come to the right place.Here are the eight best Christian movies streaming on Netflix:Photo credit: ©GettyImages/Nanci Santos
