First Priority and Chick-fil-A host student leaders

Leader’s Summit 2010

On March 11, First Priority held its fifth annual Leader’s Summit, an in-depth leadership training event for students, teacher sponsors and campus coaches involved in First Priority local campus ministries. More than 700 students and teachers across the area attended this year’s event. Local school boards of education endorsed the program, allowing up to five students to attend and count the event as a field trip. Some boards even provided a substitute teacher so that the teacher sponsor could attend.

Students enjoyed a day of intense training, as well as praise and worship brought by CJ Blount who performed with the sleep design band. Chick-fil-A sponsored the event by providing financial support, materials, entertainment and lunch for everyone in attendance. Southeastern Bible College also sponsored the event by providing the venue for the summit. Leadership trainers included Tiffany Bittner, local T.V. news station anchor, Ryan Bowman, Chick-fil-A Corporate, Outreach Minister David Nasser, and First Priority Greater Birmingham President Greg Davis. These national leaders provided students with timeless knowledge to propel them as leaders in their school. We would like to give a special thanks to our sponsors and leadership trainers who helped to make this event a huge success.

“The Leader’s Summit was amazing! I had a great time. The music was excellent, the speakers did a great job and also free food! But, most of all, I learned more about God and became closer to Him. Thanks for the great time. I can’t wait until next year.”

– Philip Murray, Student
