OUR STRATEGY
VISION:
TO UNITE THE CHURCH TO REACH EVERY CAMPUS IN SOUTHEAST KY FOR CHRIST, SO EVERY STUDENT CAN HEAR THE GOSPEL FROM A FRIEND THROUGH A FIRST PRIORITY CLUB
Our strategy starts and ends when people unite together for this single cause. Unity looks different, and the same, everywhere. In some places, networking student pastors is natural. In some places, there are no student pastors within a 30 minute drive. Either way, our goal is to get people from multiple churches and denominations together to equip and train their students in their schools. Check out the ‘Campus Roles’ below for who is involved in this unity and what role each group of people can play.
The ministry of First Priority gets worked out through a club at school. First Priority clubs follow a four-week strategy called EPIC. EPIC is an acronym for Equip, Prepare, Invite and Connect.
Equip students with the lessons and tools to share and live out the Gospel.
Prepare students hearts and Clubs to invite friends to hear about Jesus.
Invite friends and students on campus to hear the Gospel message.
Connect students to each other and to local Churches.
Roles on Campus
Student Leaders
A Christian who volunteers to lead a Club on their campus. The student leaders are not only what makes these Clubs legal, but what makes these Clubs as effective as they are.
Teacher Sponsor
Each Club requires a teacher to “sponsor” the Club. This means that they are willing to open their classroom for the Club to meet in and are present for supervision.
Campus Coach
Campus Coaches are youth pastors and ministry volunteers who function as the connection point between the local church and the campus, and then back to the church. They intentionally guide and encourage student leaders to implement the EPIC club strategy. Coaches are also instrumental in helping new believing students connect to a local Church for baptism and discipleship.
