LifeWise Program
OH - Belmont - Barnesville Exempted Village
About Us
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!
Group Objectives
The leadership board assists with the completion of launch steps 8-10 and operation of the live program by:
Providing input and direction to the program director as he/she manages the day-to-day operations of the program
Assisting with the 5 L's of operations:
Leadership: Recruit and onboard program staff and volunteers
Location: Research, secure and prepare facility and transportation
Logistics: Coordinate details and maintain positive communications with the school
Loot: Spearhead the fundraising effort, budget and manage finances
Language: Ensure all public communications are excellent and contain proper messaging
Group Makeup
The leadership board should include:
No fewer than three members and no more than nine in addition to the program director
Representation from at least three different churches
Representation of the entire Christian community: various ages, professions, genders, races, etc.
One member responsible for each of the 5 L's: Leadership, Location, Logistics, Loot and Language. Individual board members may be responsible for more than one L.
Member Responsibilities
- Every member is asked to:
- Have a mature personal Christian faith in agreement with the "What We Believe" section of the LifeWise Academy Statement of Faith
- Actively participate in and commit to a local church whose doctrine aligns with the "What We Believe" section of the LifeWise Academy Statement of Faith
- Complete board member role-specific training
- Complete a background check & Child Abuse Awareness and Mandated Reporting training once every 3 years
- Be diligent in executing the T-Minus Plan prior to launch

Member Qualifications
- Every member should have a proven track record of exemplifying the two LifeWise 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 LifeWise 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," LifeWise is fundamentally a local church driven ministry and it is, therefore, important for Leadership Board members to represent local churches.
How to Apply
