The title says it all, God's Club. Join and/or support the club and God loves you. Don't think it has any place in public school than you are an enemy of the infinite Creator of Time, Space, and the Universe. Not someone you want mad at you.
Allison MacInnis and her husband Stephen Baldwin are teachers at a local high school somewhere in the Bible Belt. After a contentious school board meeting where her proposed Bible Club is discussed the two leave to go home and they are broadsided by another vehicle. MacInnis dies at the scene and Baldwin after an extended period of grief agrees to carry on. Of course those meanie secular humanists like Lorenzo Lamas oppose this because they see it as just a tool for evangelizing their kids.
Guess what, it sure looks like what Baldwin is doing is evangelizing the youth. Even Lamas's own son Nic Luken who is on anti-depression meds is buying into it. Of course the fact he's fallen for Baldwin's daughter Bridget Albaugh helps.
My belief is that if Christian kids want to have a Bible study club after school that's their business. But somehow I doubt that this same school is sponsoring a Gay/Straight Alliance group there. Gay kids are deep in the closet in this place no doubt. I'll bet Baldwin wouldn't want a GSA in his school. Probably Lamas wouldn't want one either.
It's the same fundamentalist message you see in so many of these films. We're the truth faith and we've got a duty to convert the world. You don't like it God will nail you good in the afterlife.
The sad thing is so many people buy into that in real life.

Trying to follow Christ is not about getting in other people's faces and shaking them up. Why couldn't the Youth Bible Study club have been held AT HIS HOUSE??? Respect the separation of Church and State and the feelings and intelligence of the people around you. This movie made everyday people opposed to religious clubs in schools look like idiotic sociopaths.
If you go through life attending prayer meetings, joining bible circles, "liking" the bible on social media, AND going to church every Sunday while looking for non-offensive things to be offended over ... well then this movie is for you. You'll completely enjoy the unrealistic scenario that doesn't ever happen and the over the top characterizations of the evil antagonists that, in reality, just think you shouldn't shove your religion down their throats or interject it into public education at the expense of the tax payer.
All in all there was a clear lack of character development with characters that were already as vanilla as vanilla can be. They started out "unquestionably" right, didn't need to learn a thing, and ended "unquestionably right". The plot was transparent with the title and there were no surprises. The story was linear with no surprises, no excitement, no real drama. The acting was what you would expect from a "family friendly" cable channel's "special presentation". And personally ... there were far too many "shoulder to shoulder, on the stairs, heart to heart" talks.
All in all I just have one description of the film to encompass everything from the writing down to final edit.
Lazy.
There is a base that swallows this garbage with a smile. It doesn't have to be good in any way. It just has to feed into their world view. They'll buy it, they'll watch it, and they'll make the rounds on Netflix, IMDb, Amazon, or anywhere else to give it maximum stars and glowing reviews. Not because it was any good, but because it justifies their ignorance and enforces their belief that they're persecuted when they hear bogus stories of prayer being banned in school.

I watched this movie for a podcast that reviews religious movies, most up until now, although terrible have at least been somewhat entertaining.
This piece of crap was so boring, so poorly written and acted that I nearly crapped myself when I saw it had a 5.4 IMDb score.
Stephen Baldwin, much like Kevin Sorbo is a born again Christian that has some how created a caricature in their heads of what an atheist is and for some reason people encourage them to make films about this delusion.
At least Kevin Sorbo can somewhat act, Stephen Baldwin looks and sounds like a bloated wooden whale corpse that smoked way too much weed and is totally trying to pretend that he is not high but everyone knows he is and just humors him because of how sad his career and acting ability has become.
Don't watch this crap, it is insulting to everyone and I hope every person involved with this is ashamed of themselves.

Excellent portrayal of real life situations in which I have been personally involved. Amazing how reality is accurately depicted in this movie. I have engaged in similar conversations with anti-God people in American society. They are typically quite venomous, vindictive, illogical, and unreasonable. The script, at times, is a bit elementary, but I think it is aimed at new believers in Jesus Christ. Therefore, it comes across simplistically to a more sophisticated mind. Some of the fundamental questions which are answered in the classroom discussion with the teenagers seems simple, but there are actually people who do not know the answers to those questions. Overall a great introductory movie for a non-believer who is open-minded to receiving the good news of salvation from hell by Jesus Christ. Highly recommended!
