Christian City commemorates six decades of service with significant expansions in housing and programs for children, families, and seniors, reinforcing its commitment to community support.
Christian City, a Union City nonprofit, has evolved from a single cottage for foster children in 1965 to a 500-acre campus serving over 1,000 residents, including children, families, and seniors across Metro Atlanta. Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the organization is launching new initiatives to expand its services and housing options, marking a year of significant growth and transformation.
Key developments include the construction of 160 new residential units for seniors, a partnership with Southern Regional Medical Center to provide on-site medical services, and the THRIVE program in collaboration with Two Sparrows to support neurodiverse young adults. Additionally, the Graceland Thrift Store is undergoing renovations, and a 15-acre mixed-use village is planned to enhance community connectivity.
Keith Horton, President and CEO of Christian City, emphasized the organization's dedication to serving society's most vulnerable, with a vision rooted in Christ's love to offer hope, healing, and community. The nonprofit's comprehensive continuum of care addresses the needs of various age groups, from residential group homes for children to affordable senior living options, ensuring a safe haven for all.
