Leadership Board Member

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!

The leadership board assists with the completion of launch steps 8-10 and operation of the live program by:

Every member should have a proven track record of exemplifying the two Life Wise Core Values:

• COMMITMENT - Members have their hearts in the right place. They are motivated by their love for the Lord and are all in. They are fully supportive of the gospel‑centered purposes of a local Life Wise program.
• COMPETENCE - Members have the know‑how, skills and relationships to get stuff done.

Note:

Each member must provide the contact info of a local church leader in which he/she is an active participant. While we recognize that there are sometimes legitimate reasons to be "between churches," Life Wise is fundamentally a local church driven ministry and it is, therefore, important for Leadership Board members to represent local churches.
