• CHURCH PEOPLE is a Christian comedy about the megachurch mega production sub culture and getting back to the simplicity of the Gospel, starring Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, Hallmark Channel’s Erin Cahill, Stephen Baldwin, Donald Faison, and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone.

• Synopsis: 

 

Weary from the showiness and materialism that has overtaken his ministry efforts, Guy (Ramsey) goes on a journey to get back in touch with the heart of ministry and be a real role model to his youth group kids. He makes the difficult decision to cut short his speaking tour managed by his money-focused agent (Faison) after realizing that his reputation has become more fame based than Gospel-driven. But when Guy attempts to return to regular youth ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading the youth group from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service, starring a young, zealous new Believer, Blaise. In attempting to manage his youth group while navigating an unexpected love interest in the Senior Pastor’s daughter (Cahill) and being a new father to his grown daughter (Manfredi), Guy ultimately rediscovers and puts on a powerful presentation of why we all need to put our hope in Jesus and not in ourselves. 




 

 

My Review:

 

I watched this movie for the second time in over a year. I was reminded about how a lot of churches/speaking engagements try and add fun activities in order to lure in new believers and to keep it fresh where people will keep returning. This movie is all about trying to focus just on the Gospel and the true message. Joey Fatone buys a over the top character and he sings constantly trying to impress the pastor’s daughter. He is attempting to win her in marriage. In viewing it a second time, there is parts you forget about. One of these was the character Blaise and how his parents are a “yes” parents’ system. They allow their son to do whatever he pleases. He wanted to be the one to participate in the crucifixion reenactment and his parents were all in support of it. It has a powerful message about not forgetting the true message of Christ instead focusing on the teaching of the Gospel.
