About the film – Faith Heist: A Christmas Caper (2022)

Reverend Benjamin Wright and members of his church group band together at the local mall to host a Christmas experience for the community. The main attraction is a million-dollar bejeweled star meant to help bring in the crowds and raise money for the Children’s Hospital. But when Benjamin and the group come face to face with thieves’ intent on stealing the precious piece, they must evade capture and stop the heist to save themselves and Christmas. 

Faith Heist: A Christmas Caper (2022) is the sequel to Faith Heist (2021).

Faith Heist (2021) Synopsis: Monroe Baptist Church has been a staple of the African American community for over a century and is led by the charismatic Reverend Benjamin Wright (Jonathan Langdon) and his lovely wife, Vanessa (Sagine Sémajuste). Despite a devoted congregation, the building itself has seen better days and is in desperate need of repairs. Reverend Wright turns to a financial advisor who promises a fool-proof investment but winds up embezzling the money and leaving the church on the brink of having to close its doors forever.  Reverend Wright and a group of dedicated members of the community must do the impossible – pull off a heist to get their money back and save the church, before it's too late.
