Supporters of First Priority of Alabama joined together for the Topgolf challenge Sept. 9 in Birmingham.
The lunch event drew about 90 participants. Greg Davis, president, said the organization is busy training students and adult volunteers to work with established clubs or to get ones started.
“The students are really hungry for community,” he said. “They’re ready for fellowship. People are even more hungry for answers for spiritual matters.”
He thanked supporters for their finances, talents and influence. He mentioned club kits for elementary, middle and high schools as one way people can support First Priority clubs in the schools. An active campaign is happening right now for Bibles as well.
Accountability and community
Carole Michelle Cox, Topgolf assistant manager for training, was there to discuss safety for the participants, but she also is a Birmingham native and participated in a First Priority club when she was a student at P.D. Jackson-Olin High School.
“Your youth pastor tells you it’s OK to tell others about your faith, but it’s intimidating,” she said. “But the beautiful part about First Priority is that it gives you not only accountability, but it gives you a community within your school as well. It was always good to know that as a Christian, you weren’t alone.”
