I just remember “Davey and Goliath.”
IIRC Mad TV did a hilarious parody of those (well, hilarious like “Raging Rudolph” was hilarious).
“This is the Life”. is one... Lutheran sponsored as I recall.
Would love to see them! I only saw a few because we went to church weekly, and they were aired on Sunday mornings…maybe??
You might be thinking of 7th Street Theater?
That was Dave Christiano’s thing, IIRC.
I corresponded with Dave a couple of decades back (almost).
Dave and his brother Rich produced some Christian movies for churches. One of Rich’s movies made it to theater distribution. I think this is Dave’s site (have to check):

Dave’s brother Rich has movies here:

I know what you’re talking about.
This isn’t the show you mean, but it’s similar. It was called This Is The Life.

There were religious shows on the weekends back when.
Whatever it is, I’m sure you could find it on YouTube.
[ Remember in the late sixties and early seventies ]
Oh my referenced stuff is later than that. Still, I think you might like the stuff at the links. Hope so.
This?
This Is the Life is an American Christian television dramatic series. This anthology series aired in syndication from the 1950s through the 1980s. The series was originally produced by the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and distributed by the International Lutheran Laymen’s League.
I do remember them. Was “Lamp Unto My Feet” on of those shows?
The one episode I remember (from whichever show) had a guy* who spent the entire time arguing with a sentient computer. It was actually pretty good! Usually that show weirded me out.
*played by the actor who was the old man opposite Freddie Prinz on “Chico and The Man.”
I dont’ remember that one, but I do remember some kind of long form commercials that used to run, they were sort of like infomercials, but they were little dramas. I think they were done by the Mormons/LDS, but I could be wrong about that. One I’m quite sure had John Astin (who played Gomez Addams) in it.
