Strategy and resources for Christian youth campus ministry

First Priority of America, Inc. supports local city FP movements in cities across the US.
First Priority Strategy was founded by 12 youth Pastors in the Irving, TX area. The first city to take this strategy and follow it through to maturity is found in Birmingham, AL.
The vision of First Priority is to take the Hope of Christ to every student in the United States. They do that by uniting the body of Christ (area churches) with a plan of action to influence the schools with the gospel. The plan of action is to encourage, equip, and empower the Christian students from those area churches to form a Christian First Priority Club at school to share the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This is the primary distinction between First Priority and other club ministries: that they are a local-church strategy rather than a para-church ministry. First Priority works to empower the 325,000 Evangelical churches to reach the students in 41,000 Public Middle and High schools in the U.S.
