Make an
impact today
This Giving Tuesday, we’re rallying our community to help us take a huge step forward — the build-out of our new studio home!
God has opened incredible doors for growth, and we’re preparing for the next phase of our ministry space. But to make this vision a reality, we need your help.
We’re raising $15,000 to begin preparing for essential needs that will move our studio from bare walls to a fully functioning home for faith and dance.
This isn’t just about a building — it’s about building a legacy of discipleship through dance. Will you help us launch?
Dreams coming true!
Our young people are up against some of the most challenging and heartbreaking situations from gender identity, to social pressure, toxic and ungodly teachings on social media, and many parents don’t know where to turn for help. What this generation needs is biblical worldview discipleship, quality like-minded friendships and a place to strengthen their faith in order to stand firm in a dark world. We believe First Position is a place to do that.
Hear from a former student, alumni Eliza Larson as she shares the impact First Position made in her life.
Your generosity will help us:
🏠 Finish our office/discipleship room, which currently sits empty and waiting to become a welcoming space for prayer, discipleship training, mentorship, and staff work.
📦 Complete our back storage area, so we can properly organize and utilize our space.
🪑 Create a true front lobby — one that reflects the heart of our ministry. Our current furnishings were graciously loaned by an alumni mom, and we’d love to return them and make the space our own with a proper front desk, parent information area, window & front signage that welcomes families in and more!
🧱 Add more wall partitions to one of our studios and finish the drywall in another.
🎵 Equip Studio A with a sound system for classes and events.
🚧 Begin saving for permanent studio walls to replace temporary partitions and outfit a third studio as our ministry continues to grow.
💛 Matching Gift Opportunity!
We’re thrilled to share that a generous donor has offered to match all gifts of $200 or more — up to $2,000 total! That means your gift can have double the impact this Giving Tuesday.

Giving Tuesday 2025: Invest in the Future of First Position
Giving Tuesday is here again and we believe God has an incredible opportunity again for us to see Him provide in extraordinary ways! If you gave to us last year or years before for Giving Tuesday, a HUGE thank you! Your gifts have allowed us to give over 25 scholarships to students who otherwise couldn’t afford dance & discipleship and THIS year, we are turning our attention to our new studio home.
We have been so blessed to have our new studio facility that has made it possible for us to host ALL our dance classes, programs, and events! Children to adults have walked through our doors both believers and non-believers to feel the love of God, be encouraged and to grow deeper in their faith in Christ.
We are excited to expand our vision for the studio in our next phase of building out the space! And we need YOUR help!
Your gift will go toward:
🧱 Adding more walls to create safe and functional spaces for classes and discipleship gatherings.
🎉 Event materials like tables, folding chairs, and setup supplies to host community nights, fundraisers, and ministry events.
🔧 Finishing projects we couldn’t complete in the last phase of renovation.
🩰 Preparing for the full build-out of our studio to serve even more students and families with excellence.
Every dollar brings us one step closer to creating a space where young dancers grow not only in their art — but in their faith, confidence, and purpose in Christ.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us this Giving Tuesday to help us reach our $15,000 goal?
AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER! This Giving Tuesday we have a match donor that is willing to match gifts up to $2,000! This is incredible! Gifts of $200 or more will be eligible to be matched, which means your gift can go TWICE AS FAR!
Together, we can build more than a studio — we can build a foundation of faith and influence that will impact generations.
Thank you for being part of the story!
FAQs
-
❓Where are my contributions going?
Your gift is directly supporting the out building and finishing projects of our new studio home. Funds raised through the Giving Tuesday will help us step into phase 2 of the studio build out of the studio. This may include things like more signage, walls for new studios, sound systems for studio, event equipment like chairs & tables, and more.
❓Are donations only used for studio equipment?
Not necessarily. While some funds may go toward outfitting the physical space, your donation may also support broader launch expenses such as classroom materials, technology needs, hospitality for events, or unexpected startup costs that arise. Every dollar goes toward building a strong foundation for the mission of First Position.
❓What if you raise more than your goal?
That would be amazing! Any funds raised beyond our $15,000 goal will continue to support the ongoing needs of our expansion — helping us serve more families, offer more programming, and steward the space God has given us with excellence.

Yes! Our goal is $15,000 that day but every gift no matter when it’s given will help us toward that goal!
