Driven by your neighbors and friends who love our Lowell community and support LAS, we are offering Bible education for k-12* public school students during school hours.  Through the renowned curriculum, The Gospel Project, our classes are biblical and focused on Christ.  Maintaining the highest standards of excellence in all areas is necessary for the success of our mission.

Keeping with the "Released Time for Religious Instructions" guidelines presented in 1952 from the US Supreme Court, all LifeWise classes are off school property, privately funded and require parent approval.
