Christian City, Inc. โ Organization Profile
Christian City, Inc. is a nonprofit ministry serving children, families, youth, and older adults through housing, care, and crisis intervention. Its stated mission is to extend Christโs call to love your neighbor through housing, healthcare, crisis intervention, and building community for children, youth, families, and senior adults. The organization was founded in 1965 when area Christian churches helped establish its first cottage as a refuge for children needing a loving home.
Christian City is based in Union City, Georgia, on a 500-acre campus in south metro Atlanta, about 15 minutes south of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The organization serves people across the greater Atlanta region and Georgia, including children experiencing trauma or crisis, youth aging out of foster care, runaway or homeless youth, foster and adoptive families, working families facing instability, and seniors seeking affordable community living.
The organizationโs children and family ministries include Childrenโs Village, Thrive, Safe Place, Crossroads Foster Care & Adoption, and Healthy Families. These programs provide residential care for children ages 5โ17, transitional living for young adults ages 18โ24, emergency help for runaway or homeless youth, foster and adoption support, and family stabilization resources. Christian Cityโs materials describe these services as evidence-based programs intended to help children and families move toward safety, stability, and hopeful futures.
Christian City also provides senior living through active senior patio homes on its campus. Its senior living model includes life-lease patio homes for adults age 65 and over, along with maintenance, on-campus shuttle service, recreational programming, pastoral care, walking paths, an indoor pool, a strengthening center, community activities, and 24-hour campus patrol. The organization states that it is open to all people regardless of belief, while its Christian faith informs its service to children, widows, people in poverty, and neighbors in need.
The ministry operates through a combination of professional staff, board governance, church partnerships, volunteers, donors, and community supporters. Christian City also runs Graceland Thrift Store and offers ways for churches, civic groups, families, teens, and individuals to serve through special events, volunteer projects, church partnerships, tutoring, host family opportunities, and other campus-based support.
People can engage with Christian City by giving financially, volunteering, becoming a church partner, supporting Graceland Thrift Store, exploring foster or adoptive parenting through Crossroads, requesting help through Children & Family Programs, considering senior living options, attending special events, or contacting the organization about current needs. Donations may be made online, and general inquiries may be directed to the administrative offices in Union City.
