Principal Care Gifts

This is the Third year that First Coast Churches will provide a gift to our principals on the First Coast. It is an attempt to show and share the love of Jesus with those who serve in public education. Churches adopting schools only have the responsibility of adopting schools, picking up their gifts at the First Coast Churches offices, and providing persons to deliver the gifts to their schools before October 18, 2024.

The process of adoption is very easy. Just follow these steps.

1. Select a person to serve as the church’s Coordinator for the project.
2. The coordinator can register your church using the form on this page. 
3. When registering the church, the coordinator enters the names of the school(s) the church is adopting. To ensure that all our schools are adopted, we encourage churches to adopt multiple schools for delivery.
4. An email will be sent to churches confirming their adoption choices.

All gifts will be available for pickup on Monday, September 23 – Thursday, September 26 from 9am-3pm & Monday, September 30 – Thursday, October 3 from 9am-3pm. Here is the pickup location:

First Coast Churches – 3740 St Johns Bluff Rd #4 Jacksonville, Fl 32224 Phone: 904.727.6800

Principal gifts should be delivered to your adopted schools before October 18, 2024.

Here are a few ideas for planning your delivery.

• If your church does not have a relationship with the principal of the school you are delivering to, it is suggested you call the school office and identify your church and yourself and set up a time to deliver the gift to the principal. 
• Verbally offer the church’s (as well as your personal) appreciation to the principal for their leadership and investment in equipping the next generation. 
• Offer to pray with/for the principal as well as office or teacher personnel who may be present when the delivery is made.
