Secondary Teacher

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!
