Why We Give
We believe that generosity is the only antidote to fear and scarcity. As stewards seeking to love God and our neighbors, we give generously of ourselves, our time, and our resources in response to God’s generosity toward us.
We know we are called to be responsible stewards of all God’s gifts, including our financial and natural resources, our facilities, and the God-given talents of our staff and members.

Text to Give
Text “TRINITYATLANTA” followed by the amount you wish to give to 73256. Example is shown below:
Qualified Charitable Distribution
You can contribute from your IRA if you are 70 ½ or older. This contribution must come directly from your IRA custodian. This distribution would not be included in your taxable income but could fulfill the required minimum distribution requirements. Such distributions are not tax deductible.
Donor Advised Funds
Donor Advised Funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.
Stocks/Securities
If you own appreciated stock, it is almost always advantageous to contribute stock rather than cash. You will avoid paying any capital gains taxes on the increase in the value of the stock, and you may take a charitable deduction for the market value of the stock at the time of the gift. Please complete the Donor Stock Transfer Form to notify the church of a gift of stock or securities.
