In San Antonio, middle and high school students are facing a spiritual crisis. A 2022 survey by the San Antonio Youth Commission revealed that nearly half of the students reported feeling “helpless, hopeless, numb, or like nothing matters.” First Priority exists to empower students to change this reality with the power of the Gospel.
