First Place 4 Health

What Is First Place 4 Health?

The First Place 4 Health program is the result of a godly desire placed in the hearts of a group of Christians in Houston, Texas, in 1981. Their desire was to establish a Christ-centered weight-control program that addressed all areas of life—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

The resulting program is designed as 12-week sessions. Members stay with the same group for an entire session, encouraging, and challenging one another to meet their fitness goals. Each weekly group meeting includes a weigh-in, nutritional information, class discussion, Bible study discussion, and prayer.

First Lutheran Church is offering a group on Tuesday nights. Group meetings will be held at 5:15 p.m. Sessions start in September, January, and late March or early April.
