A released time religious instruction program focused on Bible-based character education.

📖 Sometimes the impact of LifeWise starts with one student.

One of our students received an Action Bible after his teacher learned that he didn’t have a Bible of his own.

He started reading it on the bus.

The following week, he shared that he had been reading his Bible for 20 minutes every day.

That is why LifeWise exists.

To give students an opportunity to know God’s Word, grow in their understanding of the Bible, and hear about the love of Jesus.

💙 We would love for you to hear more stories like this and learn what God is doing through LifeWise Academy Byron Center.

Join us for our Evening of Impact!

📅 November 17 | 6:30–8:00 PM

Seating is limited. RSVP required.

🙏 10 PRAYER PARTNERS. 19 MORE NEEDED!

Behind every student is a story, a family, and a life that matters to God. ❤️

At LifeWise Academy Byron Center, we know prayer is a meaningful way to support the students in our program. We currently have 9 prayer partners and are looking for 16 more to help us cover each student in prayer throughout the school year.

We’re inviting members of our community to pray for one specific LifeWise student as they participate in our weekly Bible education program.

🙏 One student. One prayer partner. A commitment to pray.

Would you consider joining us in this important ministry? Your willingness to pray is a meaningful way to support the children in our community as they learn about God’s Word.

Learning About Noah’s Ark at LifeWise! 🛶

Yesterday at LifeWise Academy Byron Center, our students learned about Noah and the ark! As we explored this incredible Bible story from Gensis 6-9. Students had the opportunity to walk through the ark’s dimensions and imagine just how BIG it really was!

What an exciting, hands-on way to bring God’s Word to life! We love seeing our students engage with the Bible and grow in their understanding of God’s Word.

📖 “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.” — Genesis 6:8
