Welcome to First Place, a Christ-centered health program that teaches
good nutrition & healthy living! All First Place sessions are the same as far as the 9
committments listed below, but differ only in the specific bible study and memory
verses.
The First Place Program is built on nine commitments that, when followed,
will draw you into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. These commitments
are not listed in order of priority or importance. Each element is essential
in order for First Place to transform all areas of your life:
spiritual, physical,
mental and emotional.
The next session of First Place will begin Wednesday Sept 3 2008! We will meet from
6:30-7:50pm for 13 weeks.
For more information about the larger First Place organization,
