The First Place 4 Health movement has taken the nation by storm!

First Place 4 Health has had groups in over 12,000 churches across the country-with over a half million members!
The tremendous success of First Place 4 Health is due to its biblical approach to weight loss and overall health management, which puts Christ first and improves every area of a person's life.

First Place 4 Health offers a series of Bible Studies.
These studies address many issues of everyday life and provide opportunities for growth in Christ. Members complete a weekly Bible study which-combined with prayer and Scripture reading-helps to impart God's strength, empowering members to overcome temptation and make long-lasting lifestyle changes.

Our Approach

That's a crucial difference between First Place 4 Health and other weight-loss programs. By applying disciplines that affect the whole person-the body, the mind, the heart and the spirit-you will not only experience physical health but will also experience total health-health for life!
