All time highs among youth:
Anxiety Depression Suicide
All time lows among youth:

what we do
The 1952 U.S. Supreme Court decision Zorach v. Clauson determined that teaching the Bible during the public school day was constitutional and therefore legal in all 50 states under three conditions:
OFF SCHOOL PROPERTY
Program must be held off site of school premises.
PRIVATELY FUNDED
No government funds can be used for this program.
parent permitted
Parental permission is required for child’s participation.
HOW WE DO IT
LifeWise has been building and refining an innovative ministry approach with an uncompromising commitment to two values:
GOSPEL CENTRALITY
Keeping the gospel at the center of the program is our only hope for genuinely changing the hearts of the next generation.
EXCELLENCE
LifeWise must compete in the marketplace of the many programs and activities surrounding the life of a public school. Therefore, we are diligent to demonstrate excellence in every area, knowing that we represent the king.
