Student-led Christian clubs

Our primary focus is to provide leadership development and guidance for students interested in leading First Priority campus clubs. Weekly club meetings encourage students to critically explore God's nature and character through a conversation-based format similar to the Socratic method, which uses and satisfies our God-given inquisitive nature to seek and know God.

While First Priority students read the Bible, the meetings are not structured as church services, youth groups, or discipleship programs. All clubs are student-led and all students are welcome to participate in meetings and activities.

Our initiatives

As an equipping organization, we provide the following to students:
Training to launch and lead a First Priority campus group/club
Guidance and support for navigating the right for students to gather on campus
Meeting resources to ensure that groups are successful and sustainable
Ongoing training to equip students to be strong, confident, and effective leaders
*The official position of First Priority of Tampa Bay is that we follow the law as it applies to student-led groups on public school campuses. The First Amendment protects the rights of students to gather on campus and to share their faith. However, the First Amendment does not afford the same rights to adults. Therefore, our clubs are student-initiated and student-led. To see the Equal Access Act law, click here.

Jesus said to make disciples (Matthew 28:19), to share the gospel (Romans 10:14), and to love others (Matthew 22:39). With this in mind, we partner with youth pastors to train their students for campus ministry, and we are dedicated to supporting local churches.
