Vice President of Growth

About Us

Did you know 8 in 10 American youth don't attend church but 9 in 10 attend public school? LifeWise Academy (lifewiseacademy.com) is one of three strategies of Stand for Truth (sftministry.org) which exists to reach the unchurched students in America's public schools with the Gospel.

LifeWise Academy is a released-time religious instruction program that allows kids to leave public school DURING the school day to receive Bible/gospel education. Released time is legal if provided the programs are off school property, it's privately funded and it's parent permitted.

Very few people know this is possible. In fact, most members of our organization hadn't heard of this concept until just a few years ago. But in reality, RTRI has been around for over 100 years and has been upheld by the supreme court as constitutional. Many states even have by-laws allowing high school students to receive school credit for RTRI classes

We believe released time is the greatest missed opportunity of the church in America to reach the next generation. But we want to change that and we need your help
