This collection of Black church movies on Netflix are great for your next family movie night. Also, be sure to check out these Black movies on Netflix, which includes nearly 150 options.

As an African-American woman, sometimes I search for movies on Netflix that feature Black actors.

I have the fondest memories of spending the weekends and going to church with my Granny.

If you are African-American or have been to an African-American church, you are fully aware of the ways they differ from other churches.

Black Church Movies on Netflix

Themes you might find in Black church movies include the rise and fall of “preacher's kids,” choirs and choir competitions, or faith being tested.

There were 10 Black church movies on Netflix, but most of them have been removed.

All titles on Netflix are subject to change without notice, due to licensing agreements. Here are the few that I found:
