Truth Builders School Ministries of Jay County is a non-denominational Bible education program offered to public school students in Jay County. They teach the Bible to participating students using Bible stories, games, songs, crafts, skits, and scripture memory. The Jay County Program is for 6th grade in the 2022-2023 school year, with the hope of offering the program for grades 3-5 in the future. 

Truth Builders Jay County receives funding through the generous donations of churches, businesses, and individuals. Classes offered are at no cost to the families or students participating in the program. Indiana Law requires the students have signed permission from a parent or legal guardian, instruction must take place off school grounds, and the program cannot use state resources for the Bible classes.
