Saint Christopher's Church, abbreviated as St. Christopher's Church, is the fourth accessible Safe House in Dead Island. It is found in the city of Moresby, and is first visited by the Hero in the beginning of Act II. The community's leader is Mother Helen, a nun.
When the Hero arrives to the church in the armored truck, they find a Ram attacking the front door. The Hero then must kill a Thug defending the bell system inside the church. After the Hero leaves Moresby, the survivors in the church are never heard of again.
There are several side quests available from some of the survivors. There are several health items like extra snacks, energy drinks and fruits found inside the church, as well as a Banoi Herald Excerpt.
Appearance[]
The Church is an old structure, likely one of the first major structures built when the city was founded several hundred years ago. It is a typical small church, with a large, imposing building and tall steeple for the bells to be housed in. It's built on a hill which, when combined with the tall steeple, makes it stick far above the rest of Moresby's skyline, making it a handy landmark for navigating around the city. There's a set of stairs leading to a small car park outside the Church while it's got a modestly sized graveyard attached to the side of it. There's also a balcony area at the front which is accessible from an upper floor inside the Church. The words SAFE ZONE has been sprayed onto the outside of the front of the building so that anyone who sees it will know that they will be safe inside.
Inside the Church, most of it has been taken up by the pews and altar area of the Church. The roof is held up by stone pillars while rows of wooden pews give people a place to sit during Church meetings. There's a spiral staircase up to an upper floor above the main area, which is how the survivors can get to the balcony. At the rear of the Church is a small office area which contains the electronic unit for the bells in the steeple, as they are electronically operated rather than hand rung. There's also a few doorways leading to the other small rooms at the rear. The Church was undergoing renovation when the outbreak occurred, which can be seen from the many scaffolding items scattered around, as well as the wooden structures and missing pews inside. The survivors have also started boarding up the windows.

Notes[]
- The weather never changes when inside the Church, it's always sunny even when it's raining outside.
- None of the graves outside the church have names on them.
- As the player heads of the western most staircase leading to the church, jumps over the wall, heads to the wall just behind it and to the corner where that wall meets the church and jumps again, they can see an action sign (the cog wheel) beyond the wall.
- In the Ryder White Campaign, on White's arrival at the stationing position of B.I.D.F. Unit 4, it is discovered that the Church is blocked by barriers set up by the Banoi Island Police Force, stopping Ryder from entering. The barriers, however, later disappear when the Heroes arrive. It is presumed that the barriers are removed either by the survivors in the church in order not to prevent more survivors from seeking sanctuary, or the Heroes knock it down with the armoured car to gain access to the city of Moresby, or by the Raskol gangs intending to set up defences for their own, or by the Ram spotted at the beginning of Act II by heroes.
Trivia[]
- The background music within the church resembles a melody in Shostakovitch's Hamlet Suite, Op. 116. The music can be heard here.
- One of the women in the Church prays in Polish, the native language of the game creators.
- One of the paintings in the Church is of Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms, and on her halo it reads “Sfantul Ioan Botezatorul” which is Romanian for “Saint John the Baptist”.
