Treasury Director jobs in Rochester, MN

About Us

LifeWise Academy is a released-time religious instruction program that exists to reach public school students with the gospel during school hours. Under released time law, students may be released from public school during the day to receive religious instruction, provided the program is off of school property, privately funded, and parent-permitted.

We believe released time is the greatest missed opportunity of the American church to reach the next generation with the gospel. Will you join us?

Most importantly, you know this isn't just a job. 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.
