“Wow! Being able to meet and collaborate with fellow LifeWise Directors truly was inspiring and uplifting! Learning from all the presenters gave me the boost and knowledge I needed to continue to strive for program excellence. Being around so many fellow LifeWise folks from all around the country gave me a bigger perspective of the impact that LifeWise is having for public school students for God’s Kingdom. The event itself was well-organized, educational, and motivational. Everyone should attend The Summit!”

Caryn K. – Upper Arlington, Ohio

“I’ve attended two summits – the first, prior to our first launches and, the second, after year one. Each time, the summit lived up to its namesake. The encouragement that was extended, the mentoring that occurred and the fellowship that was blessed will bring me back again and again.”

Jerry J., LifeWise Olentangy Program Director

“Summit is a must attend event! A time to come together in unity and build each other up in hope, faith, love and encouragement.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
Hebrews 10:23-25

Lori H., LifeWise New Lexington Program Director

“Summit inspired me and gave me the framework I needed to succeed. I also found camaraderie with those passionate about the LifeWise mission. Most importantly, Summit solidified that LifeWise was part of God’s plan for me.”

Lauren R., LifeWise Granville teacher
