Three out of four students in public schools are unchurched.The students brave enough to share their faith are often called names or victimized. In this episode, special guest hosts Season Tingler and Stephen Summit introduce us to First Priority of America, a nationwide organization dedicated to taking the hope of Christ to every student. First Priority educates, trains, and provides resources for students who want to legally form clubs and share the gospel with unbelieving students on the public school campus.
First Priority is gospel-oriented, student-led, strategy-based, and exists to unite and partner with the church. Their goal is to funnel students from the club into the local churches.
To do this, students in the First Priority club go through the EPIC program (Equip, Prepare, Invite, and Connect). During weeks one and two, students learn effective evangelism techniques and how to share their testimony with their peers. For the third week, students invite their friends to visit the club. This week is the “secret sauce” because it allows members to share their faith and opens the door for unbelieving students to hear the gospel from a friend. Connect week helps new believers find the churches they need to grow in their faith and be discipled.
First Priority recently opened operations in the Kansas City area. If you’re interested in starting a club or you’d like to learn more about additional partnership opportunities, contact either Season or Stephen.
