What is First Priority - Becky McGarrity - rmcgarrity@bths201.org

Times have changed, and America has seen a steady decline in spiritual influence from the local church while negative statistics like suicide, drug abuse, and violence are rapidly increasing. First Priority is about trying to reach high school students and offer them hope in a world that is becoming increasing difficult to live and thrive in today. We want students to feel welcome, loved, and cared for. Our student leaders are Allison Dyer and Chloe McIsaac.
