The vision of First Priority is to take the Hope of Christ to every student in the United States and around the world. 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 Christian students from area churches to form a First Priority Club at school to share the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This Club being Church-based is the primary distinction between First Priority and other club ministries: they are a local-church strategy rather than a para-church ministry. First Priority of America works to empower the 325,000 Evangelical churches to reach the students in 41,000 Public Middle and High schools in the U.S. First Priority Global seeks to establish these clubs in every community around the world.
