What Is First Priority
Permian Basin First Priority is a student-led, faith-based club. The purpose of the club is to equip, encourage, and empower students to grow in their faith and have a positive influence on their peers.
Mission
To take the HOPE of Christ to every student.
Vision
Uniting the local church to impact our elementary, middle and high schools in the Permian Basin with the Gospel Message through student-led clubs.
Why First Priority
- Because being lost without Christ means a loss of hope. Only a declining 12% of students in the US attend church weekly.
- Because without intentional campus evangelism training and implementation, students who don’t attend church may never hear the Gospel.
- Because no one church can reach and disciple every student in their community, but when united, THE Church can.
- According to the Billy Graham Association, 85% of all that come to Christ do so before they graduate high school, making our schools the greatest mission field in America.
Plugged In
We have seen eight students from different schools get plugged into our youth group… because of not only the mentors being present at First Priority, but also because our students have become invested in the clubs at their schools. It opens conversations about faith between students as well.
Youth Groups Grow
First Priority has not only created an awesome opportunity for kids to hear the Gospel, it has helped grow my junior high and high school youth groups. It is so heartwarming to see kids excited about Jesus! I know First Priority has blessed my church…
