Released-Time is a FREE ministry designed to provide Biblical training to the more than 53 million public school students in the United States.  Classes are generally one hour in length and are held on either a monthly or weekly basis, during a time that does not interfere with the core school courses.  Released-Time is offered in some schools as an elective for credit.

After local school board approval, interested parents give their permission for children to be “released” from school for a designated time (usually one hour) each week or each month to go to a location off the school property.  There they are taught the wonderful truths of God’s Word by Released-Time staff.  Generally, three classes or less per day are taught per school.
