Giving

Every gift helps make the ministries of SSPC possible, and we are grateful for the many ways our congregation gives.

Online Giving

SSPC uses OnRealm for its online giving platform. If you have never used OnRealm or have a question about it, please email us here and we will be happy to assist you!

When Writing Checks: To receive the appropriate documentation for tax purposes, please ensure your name and mailing address are clearly indicated on your check or offering envelope.

Year End Giving by Mail: For gifts made by mail at year-end, IRS regulations require that the envelope be postmarked on or before December 31 of the year in which you wish to receive credit for your gift. By law, we cannot credit a gift to December if it is received by mail with a postmark dated in January of the following year.
