The King Is Born
A musical retelling of the greatest story ever told. Mary's faith, Joseph's courage, and the moment heaven touched earth, faithful to Scripture from the first note to the last.
The Gospel, exactly as it was written.
In a world filled with retellings that stray from the original account, The King Is Born stands apart. It brings the nativity to life as Scripture tells it, yet deeply moving and cinematically stunning.
Presented by Bible Teachers International and performed by its family of churches, the film premiered in December 2025 and is free to watch here, at home, in your church, anywhere in the world.
