What is Shopping with SCRIP? 
It is using retail shopping cards & e-cards as an option for using one's typical daily expenses in a ministry way.   
  1. SCRIP is retail shopping cards / Gift cards. 
  2. You pay face value for shopping/gift card and Mt. Bethel Church earns a percentage of the card's value.
  3. There's NO additional cost to you.  
  4. Average rebate to Mt. Bethel Church's ministry fund is 6%. 
  5. Can purchase cards at church at the Scrip Table in the fellowship hall; you can give your order to one of the Scrip volunteers; OR you can input your order yourself. You can order new plastic shopping cards, reload some of your existing cards, or print Scrip NOW. -how cool is that.  Want to do it yourself? -self-enroll in SCRIP at www.shopwithscrip.com .  Our Mt Bethel enrollment code is: A3L55A7834862
Re-loaded and SCRIP Now!
  • Re-load: takes 24-48 hours to see the money on your existing plastic card.
  • Re-Load NOW: Funds show on the card once the funds are received and the order is released.  Pay Mt Bethel's SCRIP facilitators with cash or check OR you may control the reload using PrestoPay. You control the timing and you can have the funds on your card within a few minutes.  
  • SCRIP NOW: are 8.5x11" paper e-cards that work just like the plastic cards. E-cards are not Re-loadable, but you can always order and print a new one.  
  • Recommendation by our SCRIP facilitators, PrestoPay is the way to go.
Presto Pay
The SCRIP program's version of Pay Pal.  You control it yourself. you never have to bring a check to Mt Bethel's SCRIP facilitators and wait. You are in control. It takes 3-5 days for Presto Pay to to activate your initial Presto Pay application.  They use the same secure system used by banks, major retailers, and social security.

Our SCRIP facilitators, Linda Emerson, Judy Alich, Joann Larson, and Bill Brauson highly recommend Presto Pay for doing SCRIP yourself.
