About the Alternative Gift Catalog

What is an Alternative Gift?

A nontraditional way of giving. Rather than buying yet another candle for mom or polo for grandpa, honor them instead by giving in their name gifts that make a difference in the lives of our Mission Partners. 

How can I be sure my gift/donation is used as I have ordered? 

The items in the paper catalog and here on our site are items commonly used or needed by each ministry. Although the ministry may not use the funds exactly for the items selected, we guarantee the funds you donate will be sent to the ministry of your choice and will be put to good use.

What is SAPC's Mission Statement? 

Our Core Values are:

  • Love Unconditionally

  • Help and Serve Others

  • Grow in Faith

  • Connect with God and People
