What We Do - Young Christian Leaders, formerly First Priority of Tampa Bay

Local First Priority student speaking at a joint meeting.

Student-led Christian clubs

Our primary focus is to provide leadership development and guidance for students who are interested in leading Faith & Purpose Christian campus clubs.

These student-led clubs meet during non-academic time and provide a safe, supportive environment where students can explore God's nature and character through Scripture-based discussion guides.
‍
The meetings are not structured as church services, youth groups, or discipleship programs. All groups are student-led and all students are welcome to attend meetings.

*Note: Our organization is not aligned with a specific church or denomination.

Our Initiatives

As an equipping organization, we provide the following to students:

Training to launch and lead Christian campus clubs

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 Young Christian Leadership Development Programs 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 groups are student-initiated and student-led. To learn more about 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.
