Web Designer jobs in Newark, OH

Web Designer / Content Manager

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!

Your attention to detail and commitment to delivering exceptional web experiences make you the perfect fit for our team. Join us in making a meaningful impact through web design and content management.

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.
