These student leaders are truly passionate about sharing the Gospel! “What’s important to us about First Priority is being able to share the Gospel with students who need it and being able to bring students that are in a dark place back to light again.” Check out this short video!
We are so excited about a new school year starting and the wonderful opportunities that lie ahead for students’ lives to be transformed for the Kingdom of God! First Priority is about investing in the community and mobilizing students to share the Hope of Christ on their school campus. As of this past school year, there are 163,814 students in 270 schools across Greater Birmingham and we want to reach Every Last One with the Gospel.
Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death among teenagers? Students are depressed, lonely and looking for a safe place to belong. Did you also know that in America 3,300 students drop out of school every day? The majority of students tell us they have little sense of hope or direction. They want to make a difference but feel afraid, overwhelmed and anxious. These statistics are disturbing and frightening. Christ’s love is the answer and First Priority gives students a great outlet to connect with others who may be going through similar situations. Your support will help launch more clubs, reach students with the Gospel, provide needed resources for clubs, develop leaders, build accountability, encourage teamwork, connect local churches to mentor students, and allow a First Priority staff member to work with the schools in your community.
Your Back to School gift will be DOUBLED and help First Priority work with local churches and schools to address these issues. You see, as we’re able to launch more clubs, kids and teens have a place to connect and belong. First Priority becomes a place that students know they can find friends and hope. We know the ultimate solution is Jesus! Will you join this incredible movement and help us start this school year strong?
