LIFEWISE ASSISTANT

PROGRAM DIRECTOR

About Us

LifeWise Academy is a released time religious instruction program that exists to reach public school students with the gospel during school hours. Under released time law, students may be released from public school during the day to receive religious instruction, provided the program is off school property, privately funded and parent-permitted.

We believe released time is the greatest missed opportunity of the American church to reach the next generation with the gospel. Will you join us?

About You

You love Jesus. You love kids. You have the ability to face new challenges and create solutions. Leadership, organization and managing various tasks at once are areas of strength. 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.

LifeWise Academy's hiring practices and EEO Statement are fully in compliance with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception to the "religion" section of employment discrimination laws for religious organizations and permits them to give employment preference to members of their own religion. LifeWise Academy is in that category.
