Our Mission
Reaching Every Iowa School District
You can help start LifeWise chapters to bring Bible education to Iowa public school students during school hours.
What is LifeWise?
Bible Education During School Hours.
LifeWise partners with families, schools, and local churches to offer Bible education to public school students during released time — off campus, during the school day, with full parent permission. It's legal, optional for every family, and free to the school.

From small towns to city districts.
Studying the Bible during school hours.
How It Works
Pray. Promote. Plan.
Each LifeWise chapter starts with a Launch Team. This is a handful of local people who work with a LifeWise coach to get the program approved, funded, and ready for its first day.
Pray
It starts with prayer, ends with prayer, and middles with prayer. Pray for your schools, your churches, and the students.
Promote
Invite people in. Gather signatures, welcome donors and volunteers, surface board members and a future program director, and cheer families on as they enroll.
Plan
Sit down with your LifeWise coach, shape the local launch plan, and coordinate with school officials — one practical step at a time.
See the Impact.

200 schools by 2029.
Our vision is to see every Iowa community have the opportunity to bring Bible education to public school students during the school day. We've set an ambitious goal to reach 200 Iowa schools by 2029. This is a big task, but we serve a BIG God.
