For their debut title, Family Movie Events partnered with Integrity Releasing, a distribution company with deep connections in the faith community, who brought in ‘A Carpenter’s Prayer’.

‘A Carpenter's Prayer’ tells the inspiring true story of a pastor and his family who set out to build a new church in 1970s rural Michigan. Along the way, they face challenges that threaten to unravel everything when an afflicted carpenter becomes their unlikely source of hope, proving that faith in God is the true path to redemption, even in the most tragic circumstances.

“The Integrity Releasing team knew we had a winner with ‘A Carpenter’s Prayer’ and we’re excited that families around the country agreed”, said Heather O’Quinn, President of Integrity Releasing. “This film is just the beginning of how we plan to work with Family Movie Events to superserve the faith-based audience and bring them the top-shelf entertainment they deserve”.
