About Us

Decades ago, our nation systematically removed Bible education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back. Under a little-known Supreme Court ruling, LifeWise empowers communities to provide Bible education for their public school students DURING SCHOOL HOURS. Tens of thousands of public school students attend LifeWise Bible classes each week.

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

About You

You love Jesus. You love kids. You are the life of the party.

Having never met a stranger, you have the ability to take advantage of each interaction and turn it into an opportunity for Kingdom advancement. You recognize that your sphere of influence is a mission field and are able to articulate how God is moving through and around you. You can connect people with ideas through conversation and influence them towards action. You can create excitement in people and then help them find ways to get involved in making a difference.

At the end of the day, you can influence others to get things done. Most importantly, you know this isn't just your career. It's a chance to do something meaningful. A chance to serve others. And a chance to make a life-changing impact on students with the Gospel.
