The Orchid Hall at Eko Hotels & Suites in Lagos was lit up with familiar faces from Nigeria’s entertainment and faith communities on Friday, February 27, 2026, as House of Faith officially launched FaithStream, Africa’s first premium faith-based streaming platform, before a gathering of entertainers, content creators, faith leaders, and media professionals.
Kate Henshaw and screen star Shawn Faqua were among the industry heavyweights who turned out for the landmark occasion, lending their presence to what co-founders Kunle Falodun and Hakeem Condotti have described as a defining moment for African Christian storytelling.
The evening marked the culmination of a campaign that began with a buzzy London announcement in November 2025, which drew the likes of Mo Abudu, Zainab Balogun, Bez Idakula, and former Super Eagles star Seyi Olofinjana and now arrives home with a full global rollout.
FaithStream is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, launching with a catalogue of over 135 titles and more than 1,700 hours of programming, spanning feature films, scripted and unscripted series, documentaries, and audio content. The platform also debuts its first original production, Love and Porridge.
Speaking at the launch, Kunle Falodun framed the moment in clear terms: “Today marks the fulfilment of a vision that God placed on our hearts — to build a platform where African Christians can enrich their faith with quality entertainment. We are creating a trusted sanctuary of faith-affirming content for Africans at home and in the diaspora.”
Chief Product Officer Hakeem Condotti added that the technology was built specifically with African audiences in mind, noting that the platform offers offline viewing, multi-device compatibility, and subtitle options to serve the continent’s diverse linguistic communities. “Our goal is to help African faith voices reach young people where they already are: online, on mobile, embedded within popular culture,” he said.
Notably, FaithStream is entirely free to users with a model designed to remove economic barriers from access to faith-based content. The platform targets the over 700 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa and the global diaspora, entering a streaming market growing at an estimated 37 per cent annually.
Beyond the streaming service, House of Faith operates production studios in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, and projects the creation of more than 13,000 jobs across Africa’s creative economy over the next decade.
FaithStream is available now at thefaithstream.com.
