The new school year is about to begin, so you know what that means... a brand new year of First Priority! We want to ensure you are prepared and ready to reach your campus for Christ.
Therefore, we are excited to inform you about several different campus ministry training opportunities that are right around the corner. These high-impact, high-intense training sessions are for everyone, students and adults, and will address the unique issues of doing campus ministry in local middle, junior high and high schools. We want to help you make a positive difference on your campus. You will be provided with in-depth leadership training in timeless skills, focused education and tools to be better leaders in all aspects of campus life. These trainings will feature live music, guest speakers and so much more. You will receive specific training on our HOPE Strategy and learn how to implement our new HOPE Guide. We will have resources available for purchase at each training including T-shirts, wristbands, draw string bags and more. For now, check out First Priority of America's resources
