I bet you would be shocked to know that every second in the United States, a child is abused. And, that annually, there are over 100,000 abuse cases reported in Georgia alone. Many more children need a safe place to live, free from the threat of abuse in the night, or abandonment in the morning. In 1962, some dedicated Fayette County residents came together with other like minded members of Southwest Christian Church to build such a place, and called it Christian City.
The Children’s Village at Christian City has for the past 44 years, been “home” to over 1,000 abandoned, abused, and neglected children! Christian City is a nonprofit, nondenominational organization that provides these special children a safe haven in a loving, family centered, residential setting. They also provide foster care placement in well qualified homes in the community.
