Program Director

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!

About You

Most importantly, you know this isn't just a job. 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.
