“There is a major battle for the souls of our young people and First Priority is in the trenches at ground zero. There is so much coming at students from the other side with social media, peer influences, access to info. “We need to stand by to help make headway.” Students need a strong moral compass early on.”

I went to Westminster Academy where I learned about God and was spiritually fed. I lost my mom at age 11 and, now as an adult, I can see the need for a solid foundation early on in life. “Every child deserves to hear the Gospel.”

“It is vital to support families and children. First Priority has the best ROI possible because it is on the campus, with the students, meeting them where they are. It is extremely effective at reaching the large majority of students that are unchurched.”
Brandon Day
“First Priority reaches students with the hope of Jesus, equips them with Bibles, teaches them how to share their faith, and connects them to the local church. We are currently meeting in over 200 schools this year and thousands of students have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Savior. This is a way for us to live out The Great Commission by making disciples.”
