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