Secondary Teacher

TX - Montgomery - Conroe - Caney Creek Region

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

Life Wise Secondary Education teachers will demonstrate in-depth Bible knowledge and outstanding teaching abilities for students in grades 6-12. The ideal candidate is an active church participant with excellent communication and interpersonal skills who is caring, committed and proficient in teaching. Interested candidates may apply for this position on the program's webpage.
