Serving as a local non-profit in North Alabama, we are focused on serving middle and high school campuses. By uniting churches, and the community, we seek to provide a bridge to area schools. The primary way we connect with schools is through weekly club meetings on campuses, which are student initiated and student led. Click here to read First Priority’s Statement of Faith.

H.O.P.E

H.O.P.E is repeated throughout the year, giving 9 opportunities to share and understand the Gospel. All students are invited and welcome to club meetings, no matter their faith or background. Meetings are a safe, friendly place for students to ask questions, seek community, and find support from a trusted pastor or facilitator.
All students are welcome, no matter their faith or background.

1) Help: Help and empower students by answering questions they may have about the Christian faith 2) Overcome: Provide motivation and inspiration to students so they can overcome their fear and doubts about sharing their faith 3) Prepare: Help students to understand the significance of their own life story and how to share it with others 4) Engage: Equip students to engage their school campus for Christ. This is the last week of the HOPE cycle, and students are encouraged to invite their friends to hear the Gospel message
