Fundraising Opportunities

The First Church of Christ in Bethany has several fundraising efforts taking place.

  • Stop and Shop Cards - 5 percent of every order of Stop and Shop gift cards goes right to the church.  Use the cards for your every day grocery shopping, at the gas pumps, or you can even use them to buy other merchant gift cards from S&S. The church places an order each week, so you get your cards within a week.
  • Great Lakes Scrip Time: Back To School time is a great time to get some gift cards for those essentials. Check out the GLSC page for more details.
  • Help support the church by pledging! Check it out!
