Get Involved

First Priority of Tampa Bay campus groups/clubs are student-led as mandated by federal and local guidelines, and we are committed to following these guidelines.

However, under certain conditions, adults may provide training and support to ensure that the groups are healthy and sustainable. If you are a youth leader, youth pastor, teacher, or parent who would like to find out more about supporting a campus group/club, please contact us and a staff member will get in touch with you.

Prayer Team: If you would like to form a prayer group for students and need meeting resources, please contact us.

How can you support First Priority students?

Parents

Prayer
As a Christian parent, you are probably already praying for your child. We want to challenge you to broaden your perspective by praying for your child’s entire student body and school administration. Here are a couple of ways you can pray for your child’s school:

Pray for hurting students who need hope
Pray for students to be willing to share their faith on campuses
Pray for Christian students to have a deep concern for others on campus, especially those who do not know Christ
Pray for school administrators and faculty members
Pray for unity among area churches

Mission
As a parent, you have an opportunity to share the mission of First Priority of Tampa Bay. We encourage you to contact other adults in your community to share the excitement of the First Priority campus clubs. Our office can provide brochures or other needed resources.

Involvement
Parents are able to be involved in First Priority of Tampa Bay in many ways, including volunteering in a club where you will have a chance to model the character of Christ.

Finances
Parents can give directly to First Priority of Tampa Bay. We are fully funded by private donations.

Pastors

Please pray regularly for the schools, the faculty, and the students in your community.
Please continue to encourage your students to start or to get involved in a club at their schools.
Please consider inviting a First Priority representative to speak to your youth group, congregation, or missions department; hosting a “First Priority Sunday” where student leaders are featured; and helping us to connect with other local churches.

Churches

The local church congregation can play a significant role in supporting students within your community. Nothing is more powerful for students than to have the support and encouragement of their local church congregation. Listed below are some ways you can make a positive difference in the lives of students:

Seek out students in your church and let them know you are praying for them
Host prayer gatherings in your Sunday school classes or small groups within your church
Donate goods/services to a First Priority of Tampa Bay club or the organization
Ask First Priority students and leaders to speak during a Sunday service
Focus on specific schools each month in your bulletin, church newsletter, or special flyer
Ask your local church to contribute to First Priority of Tampa Bay through the missions-giving budget

Volunteers

There are many ways to volunteer in our ministry. Below is a list of opportunities available at this time (time commitment varies):

Serve at our events (time commitment varies)
Serve on our Prayer Team or Hospitality Team
Serve as a volunteer at a school (district must approve)

*All volunteers interacting with First Priority students must submit to an in-person interview and annual training as well as pass an annual background check. No volunteer may attend a campus group meeting without being cleared first by the school district and by First Priority of Tampa Bay. All volunteers are closely supervised and held to the highest Biblical standard.

Teachers

If you are a faculty member at a middle or high school and interested in hosting the First Priority of Tampa Bay student-led weekly club meetings, please visit the Teacher Resources page and contact us for more information.
