Started in 1981 as a ministry of Houston’s First Baptist Church, First Place for Health is a reliable, proven method of weight loss and healthy living. It continues to grow as a strong church program. First Place for Health has groups in over 12,000 churches across the country—with over a half million members!

The tremendous success of First Place for 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. This Christ-centered, balanced weight-loss and healthy living program has guided hundreds of thousands of people to a healthy lifestyle and a closer walk with the Lord.

What’s unique about First Place for Health?

• Christ-centered priorities: Bible study, prayer and Scripture memory

• Choices for health: Addressing the whole person—emotions, mind, body & spirit

• Community: Support and accountability through small groups

First Place for 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.
