“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” – Matthew 9:37-38 NLT
First Priority clubs exist on over 165 campuses in southern Florida seeking to share the Gospel in public schools. This is done through student-led campus clubs meeting once a week. Many are shocked to hear that First Priority only has 12 paid staff members. A team of twelve staff members network an unpaid volunteer staff of 165 faculty sponsors and well over 125 youth pastors and leaders, who serve as campus coaches for clubs in five counties: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie.
Monthly network meetings are held to provide training and resources for coaches. These coaches equip greater than a thousand student leaders to impact well over 3,500 public school students on a weekly basis. These students become missionaries to their campus by using T.E.A.M., a 4-week evangelism strategy for students. These activities are guaranteed by the 1984 Equal Access Act which allows Christian clubs the right to meet on secondary campuses under the supervision of a faculty sponsor, as long as they are student-led and initiated. There are still many kids who have never known the goodness of Jesus Christ.
Here’s how you can get involved
Middle and high school students
Get involved at a First Priority club on your public school campus. Visit firstpriority.cc for a complete listing of clubs. Don’t have a club on your campus? First Priority will give you the steps to get one started!
Teachers
First Priority clubs cannot legally meet without the presence of a school faculty member. Volunteer to sponsor a club or support one that is already meeting.
Youth leaders
A student’s world is the school campus – what better place to connect with them and their friends! First Priority trains youth leaders and provides the resources you need to go on campus and coach a club.
Parents
Pray for your students and support the club at your child’s school. Let the school administration know you appreciate the club. You can offer to supply refreshments for a club or even support the ministry of First Priority financially.
Priority partners
To reach every student on every public middle and high school campus in South Florida and the Treasure Coast with the Gospel is their First Priority. You can also get involved by supporting First Priority financially.
Church Partners
First Priority only exists through partnerships with the local churches. The following list includes several evangelical churches who are excited to partner with us to extend their youth ministry’s influence beyond the walls of the church to the public school campus
