Event Coordinator

Job Description

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!

About You

You love Jesus. You love kids. You know how to throw a great party.

As an Event Coordinator, you have a track record of creating memorable events by assisting in the production from concept through completion. You are passionate, creative and highly organized with a keen eye for details. You are able to manage daily logistics while keeping the big picture in mind.

Most importantly, you know this isn't just your career. 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.
