Faith-based films can be hard to come by, but on a network like The Hallmark Channel, telling stories that include messages of hope is nothing out of the ordinary. With the holiday season in full swing, a heartwarming story of faith is always welcome, but these Hallmark movies are good enough that they can be viewed any time of year. Here, take a look at some of our favorite faith-based Hallmark films.

Apprehensive about moving forward, the leader of the group (Brennan Elliott) convinces her to stick it out throughout the holiday season and give things another chance.
