History
- Founded: Established on September 25, 1977 by Rev.â¯Randyâ¯Pope and his wife Carol, the church was founded âÂÂto attempt something so great for God it was doomed to failure unless He was in itâÂÂ.
- Present Location: The current 100âÂÂacre campus was established in 1996 in North Fulton County, accompanying the rapid development of Johns Creek.
- Multisite pioneer: In the 1980s and 1990s, Perimeter was at the forefront of the multisite church movement, planting numerous PCA congregations across greater Atlanta. Today the church hosts a single campus but continues to support a growing network of church plants.
