Fathom Events has announced the upcoming theatrical release of the new faith-based comedy movie, Church People, starring Stephen Baldwin and Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, with special appearances by Donald Faison, Joey Fatone, Billy Baldwin, Chynna Phillips and others. Church People is set for a special Fathom Event release March 13, 14 and 15.

A heartfelt and laugh-out-loud faith-based comedy film, Church People is the story of real people with real struggles and their unique paths to discovering what faith in Jesus is all about. It all starts when "America's youth pastor," Guy Sides, realizes he's stuck in the megachurch marketing machine and wants to find his passion again.

But when Guy attempts to get back to the heart of ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading his out of touch church leadership from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service while navigating his own personal problems. Church People exposes the crazy heights some people will go in the evangelical subculture while revealing God's abundant grace through a poignantly redemptive climax.
