60
Since the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year, 60 salvation decisions have been reported from our more than 100 campus clubs across Greater Birmingham.
5,000
Over 5,000 students are attending First Priority and Priority Kids clubs every week.
100
Over 100 active First Priority and Priority Kids clubs relaunched this school year and are meeting weekly.
- We were able to promote and coordinate a very successful See You at the Pole that allowed students to reconnect, refocus on God and unite as one after not being able to meet for a year due to COVID-19. “Many of the underclassmen have not had the opportunity to gather in groups due to COVID, so this year’s gathering at the pole helped those who came see others in their school that they can go to for prayer and encouragement,” said First Priority Faculty Sponsor Casey Burnham.
- We have been able to reengage campus volunteers who were unable to be on campus last school year due to COVID-19. We have also been able to organize new volunteers for both First Priority and Priority Kids clubs.
- We have been able to pivot to online training for our middle and high school student leaders and adult volunteers, allowing our reach to expand tremendously – our training videos are being used nationwide. We also developed an online training portal for the campus leaders involved with our kids clubs. We have been able to provide students and adults with numerous resources to effectively reach their campus for Christ.
- We are holding our 16th annual Leader’s Summit on Wednesday, January 26. This unique leadership training event helps students become more effective leaders in all aspects of campus life.
None of this would be possible without you! We appreciate your continuous support during these uncertain times. Students need hope; they’re hurting and starving for community. There are nearly 164,000 students in the school systems First Priority Greater Birmingham serves. We want to reach Every Last One. Together, we can reach more students with the hope of Christ in 2022! Thank you for an amazing 2021 and we look forward to all God has in store for this new year!
