What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our church and school.
How scrip generates revenue for you
Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our church/school buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount (from two to fifteen percent or more) is our revenue.
Scrip is "shopping cart ministry enhancement”
Scrip is popular because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. You just buy buy gift certificates to pay for your items. These also make gift giving easy and convenient. One stop for all your gift card needs.
Ordering
Orders need to be in the church office by 9 AM on Monday morning. They are ready for pick-up by Thursday morning at 10 AM.
We keep many popular items in stock. Check after worship services (at the scrip table – usually a member of the team is available to help you). You can also purchase on school days.
