Our programs are broken into two main divisions; The "LifeLine" and Resource & Training.

The “Lifeline” is the initial entry point for exposure to the programs of City of Refuge. Our mission is to meet the initial needs of the last, the lost and the least of the city of Atlanta. This entry point gives the greatest opportunity for both volunteerism and charitable support. Our purpose is to take literally the words of Christ in Luke 14:23 to “go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in” to the Master’s banquet.

The Resource and Training Department of City of Refuge has been established to provide tools and provisions that will enable individuals and families to make positive, long term changes in their lives. While the outreach programs of the “Lifeline” provide immediate, short term assistance in times of crisis, and service delivery is based purely upon need; “Resource and Training” are provided over months, even years, and service delivery is based upon a demonstrated commitment, and capacity, to change.

Hannah's House

"Whatever you have commanded me I will do, and wherever you send
me I will go." -- Joshua 1:16

Hannah's House was originally a residential foster care facility staffed and managed by City of Refuge personnel and directed by Paula Canant. Over the last decade more than seventy children have received Godly care from Paula Canant, Director, and others who have worked under her leadership. Paula has heard from the Father that it is time to move to another level of commitment, and she has adopted all five of the children currently in her care. From this point forward these children will know Hannah's House as their home, each other as brothers and sisters, and Paula as their mother.

" Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me." - Psalm 27:10
