Our picks
Best free
The Chosen
Free, and the series itself is the draw - the largest crowd-funded show ever made, with the whole run available at no cost.
Best for kids
Yippee TV
Cheapest of the kids services at $7.99/mo or $49/yr, with 7,000+ episodes and a stated brief of being a curated alternative to YouTube.
Best for younger children
Minno
The complete classic VeggieTales collection plus 175+ shows, offline download, and six simultaneous devices. $10.99/mo or $69.99/yr.
Best value for adults
UP Faith & Family
A large faith-and-family library for $5.99/mo or $59.99/yr - as long as you are inside the continental United States, which is a hard limit.
Best free through your church
RightNow Media
Free if your church subscribes, and most do. One of the largest Christian video libraries anywhere - check before paying for anything else.
Most distinctive
Wild Brothers TV
Adventure and wildlife content from four missionary kids raised in Southeast Asia. $7.99/mo, but no free trial and no published refund policy.
How to choose
Start with what is free, because a surprising amount is. TBN+, The Chosen, Moody Radio, Hope Channel and CBN Family cost nothing, and RightNow Media is free through most churches - if yours has a subscription you already have access to one of the largest Christian video libraries there is. Check that before paying for anything.
For children, the honest ranking is Yippee TV first at $7.99/mo or $49/yr, then Minno at $10.99/mo or $69.99/yr. Yippee is cheaper, publishes larger content figures (7,000+ episodes, 335+ series) and positions itself explicitly as a curated alternative to YouTube. Minno has the complete classic VeggieTales collection, which for some households settles it on its own.
Bentkey is the one to be careful with, and the problem is not the shows - it is that you cannot establish the price. The landing page advertises "$5.84/month" billed annually and a "$1" trial; the subscription page says "$99 Billed Annually"; and the support article on renewal cost declines to name a figure at all, promising an email 30 days beforehand. It is annual-only, non-refundable, and cancelling mid-term does not refund the year - their own worked example has you cancelling in July with access to the following May. Good originals, opaque commerce.
For adults, UP Faith & Family is the value pick at $5.99/mo or $59.99/yr for a large faith-and-family library, with one hard constraint: its own help centre says it is "currently available only within the continental United States", which excludes Alaska and Hawaii as well as everywhere abroad. Pure Flix at $7.99/mo is the better-known alternative and is not geo-limited the same way.
Two things worth checking before you subscribe to anything here. Offline download, if you want it for car journeys - Minno, Yippee and UP Faith & Family all support it, though UP requires the app to stay open on screen for the whole download, which is a genuine nuisance. And cross-platform entitlement: UP Faith & Family states plainly that a subscription bought via Prime Video or a cable partner does not work in its own app, and Bentkey subscriptions bought through Apple or Roku can only be managed there. Buy in the place you intend to watch.
A note on the smaller, family-run services. Wild Brothers TV ($7.99/mo, or $14.99 for the community tier) is genuinely distinctive - adventure and wildlife content made by four missionary kids raised in Southeast Asia - but it publishes no free trial and no refund policy, and its paid "Wild Tribe" tier includes a members' chat and user-generated content with nothing published about how any of it is moderated. That is a real gap for a product aimed at children, and it stands in contrast to Lightgliders, which documents its moderation in detail.
Finally, ad-free status is worth verifying rather than assuming. Most services here claim it explicitly. CBN Family never does - it is free and donor-funded, and its best material sits behind a $20/month-or-higher partner donation rather than a subscription, which is a different bargain from the one the rest of this category offers.

Christian Streaming Apps
TBN+
The streaming home of Trinity Broadcasting Network, free on every major device - and surprisingly deep once you start digging.
Christian Streaming Apps
Bentkey
A well-rated, genuinely ad-free kids' streaming service with charming originals - sold at a price that three of the vendor's own pages describe three different ways, on an annual-only, non-refundable commitment.
Christian Streaming Apps
The Chosen
The Chosen has quietly become the most-watched depiction of Jesus in history, and the official app is the front door to all of it - every episode, every season, every roundtable, free.
Christian Streaming Apps
Yippee TV
A newer, tightly curated streaming app for Christian families that sits somewhere between Minno and Pure Flix Kids - smaller catalog, bigger guardrails, and a growing slate of originals.
Christian Streaming Apps

The dedicated streaming app for the 1979 JESUS film and its companion shorts, now translated into more than 2,000 languages - and that number alone explains why this app exists.
Christian Streaming Apps
CBN Family
The only faith streaming app in this category that is actually free at its base tier rather than free-for-seven-days - though what sits above that base is a donor partnership, not a subscription, and the app publishes less about itself than any rival here.
Christian Streaming Apps
Hope Channel
The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s official global streaming network, free across every major platform - and shaped end-to-end by Adventist distinctives.
Christian Streaming Apps
SermonAudio
The largest free sermon archive on the internet, with deep roots in conservative Reformed circles - and a surprisingly capable set of phone and smart-TV apps wrapped around it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Christian streaming service?
It depends who is watching. For children, Yippee TV at $7.99/mo or $49/yr is the best value and Minno is the pick if VeggieTales matters. For adults, UP Faith & Family at $5.99/mo has the largest faith-and-family library. Before paying for any of them, check whether your church provides RightNow Media free, and note that TBN+, The Chosen, Moody Radio and CBN Family cost nothing.
Is there a free Christian streaming service?
Several. TBN+, The Chosen, Moody Radio, Hope Channel, AudioVerse and the JESUS Film Project are all genuinely free. CBN Family is free with a CBN account, though its premium teachings require a $20/month-or-higher donor partnership. RightNow Media is free through a subscribing church, and most churches subscribe - ask yours first.
How much does Bentkey cost?
You cannot reliably find out, which is our main reservation. The landing page advertises "$5.84/month" billed annually plus a "$1" trial offer; the subscription page states "$99 Billed Annually"; and Bentkey's own support article on renewal pricing declines to publish a figure, saying only that a reminder email 30 days before renewal "will confirm the renewal price". It is annual-only and non-refundable.
Which Christian streaming service is best for kids?
Yippee TV for breadth and price - $7.99/mo or $49/yr, 7,000+ episodes, positioned as a curated alternative to YouTube. Minno if your children want the classic VeggieTales library, which it carries in full. Bentkey has strong originals like Chip Chilla but publishes contradictory prices. TruPlay is a games-and-comics app rather than a streaming service, and worth considering separately.
Can I watch these outside the United States?
Often not, and the terms are worth reading. UP Faith & Family says it is "currently available only within the continental United States" - which excludes Alaska and Hawaii too - and its terms prohibit access from abroad. Minno restricts by geographic location and uses geolocation to verify it. Yippee TV advertises "available worldwide" on its pricing page while its terms describe US-only operation, so verify before subscribing from overseas.
Which ones let you download for offline viewing?
Minno, Yippee TV and UP Faith & Family all support offline download. UP Faith & Family has an awkward constraint: "The app must remain open (i.e., app open and screen on) during the entire download", and downloads are documented only for mobile, not TV apps. Bentkey publishes nothing about offline download either way.
Do these services have parental controls or profiles?
Very few publish anything about it, which is surprising for the category. We could not find documentation of user profiles or a parental PIN for Minno, Yippee TV, Bentkey, UP Faith & Family, Wild Brothers TV or CBN Family. If separate child profiles matter to you, ask before subscribing rather than assuming.
Are Christian streaming services ad-free?
Most claim to be - Minno, Yippee TV, Bentkey and UP Faith & Family all state it explicitly. CBN Family notably never claims it, so do not assume. Ad-free is also the main thing you are buying in this category, since a good deal of the underlying content exists free on YouTube with advertising attached.
What is the catch with the cheap annual plans?
Usually that they are non-refundable and auto-renewing. Bentkey is annual-only and explicitly does not refund the unused portion - their own example has you cancelling in July with access continuing to the following May. UP Faith & Family gives no refund on cancellation and deliberately sends no notice when a free trial ends. Read the cancellation terms before the price.
