Body and Soul Ministries

A nondenominational ministry which serves other ministries by providing a resource for meeting physical and spiritual needs in an exercise format.

An evangelical, outreach-oriented ministry dedicated to spreading the gospel of Christ.

A Christian training organization producing teachers who are both physically and spiritually prepared to lead an exercise ministry. We provide safe, effective aerobic exercise and strength training classes set to contemporary Christian music. The physical conditioning promotes cardio-respiratory improvements, muscle strengthening, weight loss and a host of other physical benefits. However, it is the spiritual dimension of our classes that sets us apart. The Christian message in the music and sharing from the instructor guide the students to grow in their understanding of spiritual things. There is also a special element of fellowship as students sing along, interact during group routines and spend time together before and after class building caring relationships. Most classes are for women only but we do have successful coed exercise classes also. In all cases, modest, conservative exercise apparel is expected. We do charge a fee for our regular classes. Call church for fees. Our directors are Cathy Cutrell and Sheila Crouse and they truly have a heart for God and this ministry.  Join us as we improve our Body and Soul.

 First Place is a life-changing experience that delivers health and weight management instruction and support to small groups during the 13-week process.  The First Place program combines Bible Study and scripture, with a sensible eating plan to help participants focus on giving Christ "first place" in every area of their lives.

"Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God."                     I Corinthians 10:31     

Upon entering the program, members agree to the "First Place Nine Commitments." Meeting weekly in groups of up to 20 people, First Place members follow a fitness and Bible Study program lasting 13 weeks. Meetings include food planning, class discussion, Bible study and prayer.  First Place is based on the USDA Food Pyramid: the "Live-It" Food Plan. 

Using behavior-modification techniques and nine commitments, First Place members learn to be victorious over past eating patterns and to commit their minds -- and ultimately their bodies -- to God. The wheat in the center of the First Place logo represents our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is able to fully satisfy the needs of all four areas of life: Emotional, Spiritual, Mental, Physical.
