ATL Collectibles & Custom Framing offers African American church figurines that honor pastors, first ladies, a church mother and the gospel choir. They are a lasting pastor appreciation gift and a meaningful church anniversary gift for the people who hold a congregation together.
Why African American church figurines make the right gift
A card is read once; a figurine stays on the pastor's desk for years. Church figurines show the people of the church as they are, robed, holding a Bible or lifting a song, which is why congregations choose them for appreciation services and anniversaries.

Ordering for a church event
Many congregations order several pieces for one service. Tell us the date, the honorees and the budget, and we will gather matching faith gifts and frame any photos or proclamations for the same event through our [corporate art framing] service.
Presenting the gift at a service
A figurine presented during a service lands best when it is displayed, not handed over in a box. Place it on a small table near the pulpit with a card naming the honoree and the occasion. After the service, the figurine moves to the pastor's study or the honoree's home, where it reminds them of the day the congregation said thank you. Plan the order ahead so the piece and any framed photos are ready before the date.
Gifts for the whole church family
Beyond the pastor, consider the ushers, deacons, choir director and church mother. A small figurine for each honoree, presented together, shows the whole congregation is thanked.
Caring for a church figurine
Dust with a soft dry brush, keep it out of direct sun and keep the box for moves and storage.
