5 New Christian Movies to Add to Your 2025 Watch List

New movies have an interesting way of reflecting what’s on the minds of the culture. They can highlight hopes, fears, trends, and anxiety about history repeating itself, inspire and encourage people to dream about the future, fan the flames of gratitude regarding God’s blessings, and so much more. It all depends on the movie and the intent of its creators, crew, and cast. 

As 2025 approaches, 57% of the country is feeling hopeful about the future, according to CBS News. And those who are feeling hopeful are feeling that way because of who will be stepping into the Oval Office, according to that same poll. There’s a sense that there’s been a narrow escape from the worst fears of many and a belief that Trump’s policies will cultivate peace and stability.

There are some Christian movies that will be coming out in 2025 that are based on true stories and have deep plots. Others portray profound truths. In short, 2025 movies are getting off to a good start. Whether you enjoy going out and embracing an immersive theater experience or prefer to stream at home in your easy chair, here are 5 new movies in 2025 you want to make sure you don’t miss.

  • Homestead

    4. Homestead

    This Christian movie is doing extremely well, and while it has already been released, it may very well make it into 2025, according to Christian Film Blog. Perhaps the reason it’s doing well is that its plot hits on a secret fear in the hearts of many Americans right now. Though the plot is a heavy story about a nuclear bomb hitting the Los Angeles area and society devolving into rapid chaos, there’s an interesting faith-based element about a community of preppers who had previously pulled together in anticipation of something like this. They wrestle with the dilemma of those outside the sturdy walls and gates of the community who were not prepared and are desperately begging for help from those who took the time to store up supplies.

  • Bonhoeffer

    5. Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin

    Though this Christian film was released into theaters last month, it’s another one that’s doing really well, according to Christian Film Blog. If you can’t make it to the theater before its run ends, it will be worth streaming, for sure. The story is about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who lived during the days of the Nazi regime and was very much against Hitler’s murder of the Jews. Though his vocation is that of pastor, he finds himself pulled into a plot to assassinate Hitler. You can view the trailer here.
