Lanterns Program
A no-cost partnership for Orthodox priests and parish councils that lets your parish become a Logos Cinema Lantern, a beacon of Christ-centered storytelling for the families you shepherd, with a portion of every subscription returned to support the work of your parish community.
No setup fees · No contracts · No minimums
Our shared mission
The Lanterns Program is how Logos Cinema partners with Orthodox priests, parish councils, and the communities they serve to bring Christ-centered media into the homes of the faithful, and to materially support the parishes that nurture them. Every parish that joins becomes a Lantern: a visible point of light in our growing network, with its own dedicated landing page and a continuous share of every subscription returned to support the life and work of the community.
We built this program because parishes don't need another commercial relationship. They need a partnership that honors the shepherd's call on their clergy, supports the catechetical and charitable work the laity carry forward, and treats the faithful with the dignity their faith deserves.
What your parish receives
No setup fees. No monthly costs. No minimum participation. No contracts. The partnership costs your parish nothing, ever.
10% of every standard subscription is returned to your parish, every month, for as long as that member remains a subscriber. Direct it however your parish council decides: catechumen materials, youth and Sunday school, charitable outreach, building upkeep, or wherever the need is greatest.
A bespoke landing page reflecting your patron saint, your community's voice, and your parish's palette. We design and build it; your clergy and parish leadership review and approve. You simply share the link.
No code, no integrations, no admin burden on Father or the parish office. We handle hosting, member billing, support requests, content updates, and quarterly statements end to end.
Original films, documentaries, podcasts, lectures, and series rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition. Family-safe, Kids-profile-protected, ad-free on most tiers. Content you can recommend to your faithful without reservation.
No notice required, no exit obligations. If the partnership ever stops serving your parish, we take the page down, and any parishioners already subscribed through your page continue supporting the community through the end of that quarter.
From first conversation to first quarterly distribution
Your priest, parish administrator, or a parish council member sends a brief email with parish name, location, website, and a contact person. We reply within two business days.
Custom landing page built around your patron-saint icon and parish identity. Your clergy and parish leadership review and approve before it goes live.
Announce in your bulletin, weekly email, or after Liturgy. We provide ready-to-use copy and graphics, only if your parish wants them.
As parishioners subscribe through your page, ongoing support begins flowing to your parish for the work of your community. Distributions every calendar quarter, by check or ACH.

For clergy and parish councils
Yes, completely free. There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, no minimum participation requirements, and no contracts. Logos Cinema covers all design, hosting, billing, customer support, and content licensing. Your parish doesn't pay anything to join, and isn't responsible for anything beyond sharing your custom landing page with your faithful.
Three things, and only the first is required. (1) Your priest, parish administrator, or a parish council member reaches out to start the partnership. There is no pressure to commit before your parish has fully reviewed the program. (2) Share your custom landing page link with your parishioners however your parish prefers: Sunday bulletin, weekly email, parish website, brief announcements after Liturgy. (3) That's it. We handle everything else, including member billing, customer support, content updates, and quarterly statements.
Original films, documentaries, podcasts, lectures, and series rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition: the lives of saints, theological reflection, liturgical and iconographic content, and family-friendly storytelling. Every title is curated with Orthodox values in mind. A dedicated Kids profile filters to age-appropriate content automatically, gated by a parental PIN. No mainstream-streaming algorithm surfaces content that conflicts with the faith.
10% of every standard monthly subscription is returned to your parish for as long as the member remains subscribed. As examples: 25 parishioners on the Ad-Free tier ($7.99/mo) means roughly $20/month, or about $240/year, returned to your parish community. 100 parishioners across all tiers averaging $8/mo means roughly $80/month, or about $960/year. The parish council directs the support however the community decides: catechumen formation, religious education, youth programs, charitable outreach, building upkeep, or whatever the parish discerns. Support grows alongside your community, with no ceiling.
Yes, at any time. No notice period and no obligation. We take your landing page down, and any parishioners already subscribed through your page continue supporting your parish through the end of that calendar quarter.
Priests, parish administrators, and parish council members, send us a brief introduction with your parish name, location, website, and a contact person. We'll reply within two business days and walk you and your parish leadership through what comes next, at whatever pace suits your community.
