LTCES Mission Statement
LTCES exists to provide faith-based educational coaching and consulting in order to foster intellectual growth, spiritual development, leadership and a lifelong love for learning in students of all ages. We strive to support Christian educators and students in achieving their full potential by providing compassionate guidance grounded in best practices, Christian principles, sound doctrine and personal relationship with God. Through personalized coaching, prayerful mentorship, and a Christ-centered approach, we aim to equip others with the knowledge, skills, and faith needed to thrive in all areas of life, and to develop into strong, faith-based leaders.
Educators for His Kingdom
Jennifer Lasik
Jennifer grew up in a huge family of parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents where it seemed like everyone was a “creative”, whether it was storyteller, musician, singer, writer or artist. Her father and grandparents instilled a deep faith in her, and her mom gifted her with a lifelong love of learning.
She began her professional life in Christian education as a high school teacher. After a decade in the classroom, she earned her Masters of Public Administration and transitioned into a career overseeing cultural arts for cities in Wyoming and Illinois.
She began to see worrisome trends in the public school system, and when the pandemic hit and there was a teacher shortage, she returned to her first love of education, stepping back into the classroom and then into Christian school administration. She is currrently working on her Ph D. in educational leadership.
One morning while in prayer, Jennifer was overwhelmed with the dynamics of our country and the cultural wars overtaking our school system. She asked God, “How do we possibly make an impact in all of this?” God, faithful as ever, answered, “One heart at a time.” She is committed to working empowering students, families and educators alike with the tools they need to develop into strong, consecrated, passionate, joyful, Christ-hearted leaders. This led her to partner with Tara to create LTCES.
Jennifer lives in Franklin, Wisconsin with her husband, Adam. Her favorite non-work activities are cooking, practicing the cello and riding her bike, and she has recently started learning ASL along with her daughter, Aislynn.
Tara Bollmann
Tara is a single mom to Samantha and Stephanie. She lives in Sugar Creek, Wisconsin, which is between Milwaukee and Madison. She has worked in various positions, including Church Administrator for 10 years in California and several jobs in a manufacturing company in Wisconsin. She went from warehouse, to Purchasing Manager, to Quality Tech and ended up in Government Contracts. She served as President of the PTO for 2 years until she was elected to the local School Board where she served for five years.
As the nation recovered from the pandemic, Tara felt God calling her to Christian education. She left the corporate world and dove right into the deep end of the pool, creating and launching a virtual campus for a private Christian K-12 school in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Virtual school is not for everyone, but she realized that there is a gap that needs to be bridged between churches and communities, parents and educators, and students and teachers. Tara’s passion is not only working with students to develop their faith and support their academics, but also to train other Christian mentors and leaders to become Academic Faith Coaches in order to improve the virtual school experience for students who need options outside of public school education. She especially has a heart for families whose circumstances make private school tuition an impossibility.
She co-founded LTCES to address these needs and continue the ministry and passion she has for building the Christian Education community. Tara is currently enrolled in Urshan University completing her Bachelors Degree in Human Services.
When she is not championing education, Tara enjoys her quiet, rural home where she raises chickens and blesses friends and neighbors with fresh eggs.
