Overview: Although weight management is most often the motivation for joining a First Place 4 Health group, the focus is not just on the body—or on the number on the scale.  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!

Many diet experts agree that developing self-control is a key part of weight loss and weight management. But the Bible says that believers develop self-control only when Christ is at the center of their lives. The secret to self-control is giving up control to God!  This semester First Place 4 Health members will learn how to let go of their frantic need to control their circumstances, which often leads to stress induced, out of control eating. They will also take positive steps toward letting God take over the management of their mind, emotions, body and spirit. As Christ moves into first place, life moves into balance.
 

First-time members will also need to purchase a member kit.  It will help you focus on surrendering your mind, body, emotions and soul to God.
