First Priority is a mid-week must for most students at Hueytown Middle school. It’s not hard to find the students on Wednesday morning standing outside the door telling their friends to come worship and hear the word. Local youth pastors and worship leaders join together to help students reach their peers with the message of Jesus Christ. Guys like Jonathan Hopkins, TJ Phelps and Parker Smith along with David Hobson rally every week to encourage students to lead not follow. It’s amazing to see what God will do when we work together as one. This is the focus of First Priority, uniting local churches to impact schools. The Hueytown area is a great example of this in action. It is a pleasure to serve alongside students and pastors who work as one to reach many for Christ.
