Join the Whitley County Patriots on Tuesday, December 9th, at 7pm, for an enjoyable evening that will be one of two programs.

Our plan has been to have Representative Chris Judy, Representative Dave Abbott, and Senator Justin Busch join us to give us an overview of the upcoming legislative session.

Given that the House has been convened in special session this week, and the Senate is scheduled to convene on Monday, the redistricting issue may intercept our plans.

Our alternative plan is to screen the Matt Walsh documentary, "Am I A Racist?".

Either way, come join us for a wonderful evening.

Join the Whitley County Patriots on Tuesday, November 11th, at 7pm, for an informative introduction to a program that is currently operating in some of our Whitley County schools.

LifeWise Academy is a program that provides Bible education to public school students during school hours. Since the launch of LifeWise in 2019, it has quickly grown to serve hundreds of schools across the U.S. each week, with tens of thousands of students attending to receive a Bible class as part of their public school day.

LifeWise is reportedly having a profoundly positive impact on students' academic performance, behavior, and emotional well-being.

Join us and learn about this relatively new program being offered to local students.
