First PlaceThe tremendous success of First Place is due to its biblical approach to weight management, which puts Christ first and improves every area of a person’s life: spiritual, physical, mental and emotional. This Christ-centered, balanced weight-loss program has guided hundreds of thousands of people to a healthy lifestyle and a closer walk with the Lord. The program includes Bible study, group support and accountability; a proven, common-sense nutrition plan; regular exercise; daily prayer; and Scripture memorization.

The First Place program consists of nine categories, which make up the "commitments" that each participant is asked to prayerfully consider and follow when joining a class:

  • Attendance
  • Encouragement
  • Prayer 
  • Bible Reading
  • Scripture Memory
  • Bible Study
  • "Live-It" Plan
  • Commitment Record
  • Exercise

First Place offers a series of Bible studies. These studies address many issues of everyday life and provide opportunities for growth in Christ. Participants 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.
