Christian Streaming Services for Kids: What to Check
The short answer: if you want one paid service built around children, Yippee TV is the clearest fit: it is a kids-only Christian library that lists $7.99 a month or $49 a year after a 7-day free trial and says it shows no ads. If your household wants family movie nights as well, Pure Flix lists $9.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed annually, and has a Kids section inside a broader catalog. If you would rather spend nothing, the Bible App for Kids, CBN’s Superbook and your own church’s library cover a lot of ground first.
Prices and features below come from each provider’s own pages, checked on November 2, 2026, and they change, so confirm the figure on the sign-up screen before you pay. This guide is about what to check for a child’s viewing. For the wider adult-and-family field, see our comparison of faith-based streaming services, and for individual shows, our list of Christian kids’ shows parents trust.

Yippee TV: the kids-first paid option
Yippee TV describes itself as Christian streaming for kids and promotes “No Ads, No Algorithms, No Attitudes.” Its pricing page lists a monthly plan at $7.99 and a yearly plan billed at $49 once, each starting with a free 7-day trial. Both plans list offline downloads, streaming on more than one device at a time and worldwide availability, on iOS, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire, Fire TV, Samsung, Roku, Xbox and Google Play, among others.
On content, Yippee names VeggieTales (with 80-plus episodes) and Superbook, plus exclusive Danny Go! episodes, and says its library holds more than 335 series and movies. What helps a parent more than the show list is its published content guidelines. Yippee says every piece of content is reviewed by a content committee that includes its network pastor, that real Christian parents preview every episode, that anything teaching the Bible gets a theology review, and that it uses no algorithms or AI to review content. It is also candid about the standard: not every title has faith overtly built in, but each one “supports Christian values.”
Who it suits: families with preschoolers and early-primary children who want one app, car-trip downloads and no ads. Watch for: the library is focused rather than endless, and the yearly plan is a single charge, so set a reminder before the trial ends.
Great American Pure Flix: a family catalog with a Kids section
Pure Flix, now carrying the Great American name, pitches itself as “a values-driven alternative for families,” with “no hidden messages, no unwanted surprises.” Its home page lists $7.49 a month billed annually or $9.99 a month, and its navigation includes a Kids section alongside Christmas Movies, Best Faith Movies and Most Watched.
The titles it features on the home page are mostly TV-G and TV-PG movies and series for grown-ups and families, such as Christmas romances and mystery films. That means a child under seven will spend most of their time in the Kids section, while the rest suits a mixed-age movie night. Who it suits: households that want one subscription for adults, teens and children. Watch for: a TV-PG rating is a broadcast-style guide, not a guarantee that a title is right for your four-year-old, so preview anything outside the Kids section.
Free options to try first
A paid library is not the first step. These cost nothing and are made for children.
- Bible App for Kids. Life.Church’s site calls it the most popular kids’ Bible app and says it is free. Its parent page offers free downloads of colouring sheets, adventure books, parent guides and videos for each story, from “In the Beginning” to “God’s Good News,” so the screen time can turn into a conversation.
- Superbook. CBN’s Superbook ministry offers full episodes to watch, a kids’ website and a Superbook Bible app, built around two children and a robot who travel into Bible stories. It is the same series Yippee carries, so check the free version before you pay for it twice.
That is an official clip from the Bible App for Kids channel, one of the stories listed on the parent page, and a quick way to judge the style before downloading the app. For more free video, our guide to Bible stories for kids on video lists more official channels.
Ask your church before you pay
RightNow Media is a large Bible-study video library that sells to churches; its own page invites ministry leaders to request a demo and tells everyone else to “tell your pastor about RightNow Media instead.” If your church already subscribes, ask your children’s pastor how families get access and which kids’ content the plan includes. If it does not subscribe, the question costs nothing and may start the conversation.
Six checks before you subscribe
- Kids-only or family catalog? A kids-only library lets a child browse alone with less supervision. A family catalog needs a profile or a parent beside the screen.
- Ads. Yippee states no ads. Free video sites can show ads between videos, so ask whether a service you are paying for removes them.
- Offline downloads. Yippee’s plans include them; confirm the same on any other service if you travel with children.
- Trial and billing. Put the last trial day in your calendar. Note whether the price you saw is monthly, or the yearly price spread over twelve months, as on Pure Flix’s $7.49 plan.
- Device controls. A “safe” promise does not replace the device. Apple’s setup guide for Screen Time starts with Family Sharing and a separate Apple Account for each child. Google Family Link adds screen-time limits, app approvals in Google Play and tools for YouTube.
- Preview it yourself. Watch a first episode with your child. Yippee invites parents to report concerns at support@yippee.tv; any service worth keeping should be easy to contact.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also offers a free Family Media Plan tool on HealthyChildren.org to set rules for when, where and how long screens are used. A subscription is easier to manage once those limits are written down.
Which setup fits your family?
- Toddlers and preschoolers, one app: try Yippee TV’s free trial and decide on the yearly plan only after a week of real use.
- Mixed ages, movie night: Pure Flix, with the Kids section for the youngest.
- No budget: the Bible App for Kids, Superbook episodes and your church’s library, then add the best Christian YouTube channels with a supervised account.
