ABOUT US
Who we are:
First Priority exists to share the hope of the Gospel with every student on every campus. We equip students to share Christ with their peers and create safe, welcoming clubs where everyone belongs. Through these clubs, students encounter Jesus and connect to the local Church. In a world of chaos and need, we strive to bring hope and love—together being light in the darkness.
How Does it Work?
The 1984 Equal Access Act passed by the Federal government as well as the 2017 Florida Student and School Personnel Religious Liberties Act gives students the right to initiate and lead a Christian club on campus (learn more here). When students start a club, we resource them with materials and mentoring so they are not alone to in reaching their campus for Christ. The success of First Priority begins and ends with the local church. The students, youth pastors & faculty sponsors that partner with us all belong to a local congregation. Once a student receives Christ on campus, they are encouraged to join their classmates in connecting to the body of Christ where they can grow in their new faith.
Where is First Priority?
We have 300+ clubs across nine counties, from South Florida to the Space Coast, Orlando, and Volusia County. Partnering with 120+ churches, 300 volunteers, and thousands of students, we exist to reach every middle and high school campus in Southeast Florida with the Gospel.
