The Dove Foundation Review of God's Club:
“God’s Club” is a powerful film that speaks volumes in an hour and a half! Stephen Baldwin is superb as Michael Evens, a teacher who loses his Christian wife and decides to follow God and honor Him with a bold stand. Fellow parents at Evens’ daughter’s high school do not believe the Bible Club Evens wants to start deserves a place alongside the other clubs, so they confront him. He calmly assures them it is a volunteer club and is designed only for those who wish to participate. One of the fathers, played by Lorenzo Lamas, is strongly opposed to Evens and makes his life difficult.
Despite the opposition to the club, Evens and his daughter begin to see signs of hope, as the seeds they are planting begin to slowly grow. Evens endures vandalism in his classroom, and a fire is actually started outside his home, but he and his daughter persevere to defend their right to believe the Bible. Corbin Bernsen plays Max Graves, a member of the school board and supporter of Evens. Interestingly, the son of the man who opposes Evens the most takes a liking to his daughter and has questions about God.
The movie features a good story, solid acting, and the message that, even though it is not popular with everyone, the Bible should be allowed to guide the lives of those who wish to follow it. This film also features the theme of forgiveness. We are pleased to award “God’s Club” our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for ages 12-plus. This family-friendly movie has also earned our best rating, five Doves.
