Stewarding God’s Resources With Whole-Life Generosity
At Perimeter, we believe that giving is an act of worship and an expression of gratitude to God. We are returning to Him a portion of what he has asked us to manage. While many of our members give during our weekly worship services, there are additional opportunities and ways to give to the ministry here.
Perimeter is also a member of the EFCA to maintain financial accountability.
Trusted accountability
Our Standards
Financial accountability is important at Perimeter. We are audited annually by an independent auditing firm. Members may request a copy of the latest audited financial statements by contacting our Accounting team.
Perimeter Church has received accreditation by Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). The ECFA seal assures donors that their gifts are going to an organization they can trust to carry out the Great Commission, while being held accountable to the ECFA’s high standards of integrity and stewardship.

Taxable Distributions
Reducing Your Taxable Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
Did you know that you can contribute directly to Perimeter Church from your IRA? If you are 70½ or older, you can have the custodian of your IRA make a non-taxable Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Perimeter Church in a manner that helps satisfy your yearly Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) requirement. Note that this transfer is not tax-deductible but may reduce your overall tax requirement more than a direct contribution by nature of the reduction of your overall gross income. We will send you a written confirmation of your gift once your transaction is complete.
Simply instruct your IRA administrator to make the check payable to Perimeter Church (TIN 58-1348544) and mail the check addressed as follows:
Perimeter Church
9500 Medlock Bridge Rd.
Johns Creek, GA 30097
Please notify our Contributions department that the distribution is being made by calling 678.405.2277. Include the donor’s name and mailing address, name of IRA Administrator, the exact amount contributed, and the allocation of the donation. This will help ensure that the donation is credited properly. For more information from the IRS, view the news release at irs.gov. If you have questions, you should contact your financial advisor, accountant, or tax preparer.
Give Recurring Gifts
Set up a Recurring Gift
Giving a recurring gift by check has a lower processing cost to the church. A growing number of donors give to Perimeter while taking advantage of the convenience of online banking bill pay offered through their bank. One of the advantages is you can schedule a recurring payment to tithe or offerings that currently support FORWARD.
When scheduling an online bill payment it is helpful if you would note a designation such as FORWARD or Deacon’s Fund in the memo area. When the bank check is received by Perimeter and there is no designation, it is considered a gift to FORWARD (Tithes and Offerings). Recurring gifts may also be set up and made by credit or debit card.
Donors can easily set up recurring giving by going to our online giving platform.
