  • The Safe Place Partnership

    Christian City serves a large swath of metro Atlanta through its Safe Place partnership with Quik Trip stores, YMCA of Metro Atlanta locations, and fire stations in the following counties: Fulton, Douglas, Carroll, Fayette, Coweta, DeKalb, and Cobb. These organizations post information about Safe Place so teens know they can text the word "safe" and their current address to 4HELP (44357) or call 770-964-3301 for immediate assistance.

    Safe Place at Christian City is part of a national network of more than 22,000 partnering businesses and community locations, such as fast-food restaurants, convenience stores, fire stations, public buses, and libraries, which display the Safe Place sign in their windows and help teens in crisis know how to find help.
