The Christian entertainment industry consists of a large number of sub-industries devoted to Christian entertainment. However, the term is often used in the mass media to describe the Christian mass media companies that control the distribution and manufacture of Christian mass media entertainment.
Because of the lack of support from Christians in the 20th century, it was only until the 21st century that the Christian entertainment industry really started to prosper, following the enormous popularity of the Pentecostal church.
The 21st century Christian mass media industry includes everything from cinema to broadcasting (television and radio), and record industry. Unlike its secular counterpart, the Christian mass media industry hasn't grown to a size to incorporate theme parks or discotheque.
