ELEVATE @ the High School
We are excited for another school year of ELEVATE and participate in God’s work among our community! In a world that changes so quickly we get to draw near to Jesus who “is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).
To help us keep you informed take a moment to register here for the ’25/’26 school year: ELEVATE Registration & Waiver

RAISERIGHT
Here’s the best fundraiser we can offer people…and you don’t have to buy something you may or may not use! It’s raising funds by making your purchases with gift cards you can either manage in a physical wallet OR (our favorite) a digital wallet through the RaiseRight app. And the neat thing about the digital wallet is you see balance updates (instant for most – some you need to enter), and you can even reload your gift card on the spot for many.
How does it work? Well…right now you can buy a Kwik Trip gas card and you’ll get 9% credited to your ministry account and/or a Kwik Trip Grocery Card and you’ll get 15% credited to your ministry account! I’m reloading these often…because who doesn’t fly through gas and donuts?!?!
Not a Kwik Trip fan, how about getting 12% back on purchases at Domino’s?!?!
These are bonus buys right now through RaiseRight. These bonuses won’t last much longer (though they do pop up fairly often)! To check out a list of all businesses you can purchase gift cards for and the rebates they offer, check out the attachment “RaiseRight Brands.”
To cash in on this incredible FUNdraiser, click HERE to set up your account.
Enter our ENROLLMENT CODE (31CB4FDF285L4) under the “JOIN AN EXISTING PROGRAM” section to link your account to our church. Every time you purchase a gift card from this program, the rebate will be sent to BEFC and we will designate it to your account (unless you ask to designate it to someone else).
Questions? Contact Pastor Chris at 763.244.4957 or send an e-mail to our coordinator, Amanda Wheece, at amanda@beckerfreechurch.org.
FUNdship TEAM – Opportunity to Give Through Serving
You’ve seen the promotions for mission trips, and while you have had no interest in going yourself you have wished you could contribute to the mission. Here’s an opportunity for you to do just that!
I’d like to have a team of 4 to 6 adults who are resourceful, creative, and go-getters to work with me in putting the FUN in FUNdraising! We would meet once a month to plan/organize, and you might need to be available for some of the FUNdraisers to help with implementation.
If you have even the slightest desire to serve on this team, please let Pastor Chris so we can get rolling!
