Tap-to-Give Discs for COGIC Churches

A guest taps a disc with their phone and your giving page opens, ready for their gift. No app to install, nothing to mount, and no link to read out loud. Put one everywhere your church family gathers, from the sanctuary on Sunday to the registration hall at convocation.

Tap.Giving makes custom NFC tap-to-give discs for churches, and this page is written for churches in the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States and a historic Black church body, organized under Bishop Charles Harrison Mason and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Outside census counts put its United States churches at about 3,300 (ARDA, 2020), while the denomination claims more than 12,000 churches worldwide. A church orders discs printed with its own artwork, places them where people gather (welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signage, convocation registration tables), and every tap or scan opens the church's giving page. Discs cost $5.00 each for 100 to 199, $4.00 for 200 to 399, and $3.50 for 400 or more, one time, with free shipping and no monthly fees. Every disc carries a locked NTAG213 chip and a printed QR code to the same destination, and the church can change where taps land at any time in the free Redirect Dashboard. One plain note: this page is a resource for Church of God in Christ churches, and Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Church of God in Christ.

About the Church of God in Christ

The Church of God in Christ traces its roots to 1897 and was organized as a Pentecostal body in 1907 under Bishop Charles Harrison Mason, after his baptism in the Holy Spirit at the Azusa Street Revival. It is the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States and one of the historic Black church bodies, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.

Counts of its size differ by source and scope, and they should not be merged. The ARDA count from the 2020 US Religion Census puts churches in the United States at about 3,300. The denomination itself claims more than 12,000 churches worldwide. The first is a United States census figure; the second is the Church's own worldwide claim.

Local churches sit within jurisdictions led by bishops, under a General Assembly and a Presiding Bishop. That structure carries a full calendar: jurisdictional conventions, national conferences, and the annual Holy Convocation in Memphis, alongside the local church's own services each week.

Where do tap-to-give discs go in a COGIC church?

A COGIC church carries two calendars at once: its own services, anniversaries, and choir days at home, and the jurisdictional and national gatherings its members travel to across the year. The giving moment has to work in both, including for the guest who has never heard your giving URL.

A disc removes the friction everywhere it sits. The destination lives in the dashboard and not on the disc, so the same discs serve a Sunday at home and a hosted conference the next month.

Jurisdictions and bishops

Churches are gathered into jurisdictions under bishops, and jurisdictional meetings bring many congregations into one host building. Discs at the welcome and registration tables open the giving or information page the host chooses, then return to Sunday giving when the meeting ends.

Convocation and conference culture

The Holy Convocation and the Church's conferences draw thousands who give, register, and connect in crowded halls. A disc on a registration table or exhibit booth opens the right page in one tap, with no address to announce over the noise.

Music and offering traditions

Music is not a prelude in this tradition; the choir and the musicians carry the service, and the offering is a moment of worship in its own right. A disc on the chair back lets every person in the room take part in that moment with a tap, member and guest alike.

Local churches, national family

A local congregation is also part of a national church family with shared anniversaries, auxiliaries, and departments. The same discs, printed with your church's own artwork, serve the pastor's anniversary at home and the department event you host next quarter.

How it works

  1. 1

    Order your discs

    Approve your free proof, pick round or square, and order 100 or more. Pricing is one-time, shipping is free, and most orders arrive about 2 to 3 weeks after artwork approval.

  2. 2

    Place them where people gather

    Stick discs on welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signs, and portable giving stations. The 3M adhesive backing is standard, table stands suit rented rooms, and optional screw holes suit permanent mounting once you have a permanent home.

  3. 3

    People tap and give

    A tap or scan opens your giving page. Your giving platform takes the gift and issues the receipt. Tap.Giving never touches the money.

Most iPhones from the iPhone XR onward and most Android phones from the last several years read NFC with no app. The printed QR code covers every other phone, and both go to the same page.

What the disc does not do

Tap.Giving sells hardware only. We are not a payment processor, and no gift ever passes through us. The disc opens a page; everything after that belongs to the giving platform your church already uses.

That means your platform keeps handling the gift itself, the card details, the receipt, and the donor record in your church's systems. Nothing about your giving operation changes except how people reach the page.

It also means our pricing stays simple: one one-time price for the discs. No percentage of gifts, no per-gift fee, no monthly subscription, and nothing taken out of what your people give.

Where discs work in your building, or your borrowed one

If people gather there, a disc belongs there. Churches place them anywhere a welcome already happens:

  • Chair backs and seat rows. The invitation to give sits with every person, all service long.
  • Welcome and next-steps tables. A first-time guest can give and connect in the same stop.
  • Lobby giving stations. A standing giving point that works before, between, and after services.
  • Portable signage and banners. The graphics your team already sets up each week carry the giving point with them.
  • Kids check-in counters. Parents meet the same simple way to give where they already stop every Sunday.
  • Convocation and conference kits. A hosted event opens with its giving point already printed, packed, and ready.

Built for churches where music, offering, and fellowship carry the day

A COGIC church can host a jurisdictional convention, send its choir to sing across the state, and mark its pastor's anniversary in the same season it has served its neighborhood for decades. Printed pieces usually die at every change: the program names the old fund, the sign names the old event. Discs are the one printed piece that survives, because nothing about the destination is printed on them.

Order for the rooms you have today, and the same discs serve the conference you host next year. When the event or the page changes, you change a setting, not a print run.

From the local sanctuary to the convocation hall, the giving point is wherever your church family is sitting.

Your giving page can change. Your discs do not have to.

Every Tap.Giving disc includes the Redirect Dashboard, free, for as long as you own the discs. When your church needs taps to land somewhere new, sign in and change the destination. The change takes effect in seconds, there is no limit on how often you change it, and the discs in the field never need to be touched.

Growing churches live on changing links: a launch page gives way to an everyday giving page, a campus gets its own fund, a platform migration moves everything. Your printed discs survive all of it, because the destination lives in the dashboard rather than on the disc.

Destinations can be set per disc or per group, so the discs at your original campus can open a different page from the discs in the launch kit.

Every disc also carries a printed QR code

Some phones cannot read NFC, and some people simply prefer to scan. Every disc therefore carries a printed QR code next to the tap point, and both open the same destination.

Nothing is lost either way: the QR code is printed as part of your artwork, follows the destination whenever you change it in the dashboard, and never needs a separate sign or card.

What tap-to-give discs cost a church

Pricing is one-time and published:

  • $5.00 per disc for 100 to 199 discs
  • $4.00 per disc for 200 to 399 discs
  • $3.50 per disc for 400 or more discs

Get 10% off your first order and a free custom design

Enter your email and we will build a free design proof with your church's logo. No payment due until you approve it.

10% off applies to your first order with code WELCOME10, inside a 7-day renewing window.

The minimum order is 100 discs, because every disc is custom printed with your church's artwork. That minimum deserves a plain word: a hundred discs suits a church with real rooms to fill, such as a congregation with a full sanctuary and fellowship hall, a church that hosts jurisdictional meetings, or a team equipping a convocation or conference. If your congregation is still small and gathers in one borrowed room, a printed QR code on a sign may honestly cover it for now, and we would rather tell you that than sell you discs you will not place.

There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, and no per-gift fees. Shipping is free. Most orders arrive about 2 to 3 weeks after artwork approval, as an estimate rather than a promise, and there is no rush service. Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

There are no samples, because every disc is custom printed. Instead, you approve a free design proof of your actual artwork before anything is produced, so you see exactly what your discs will look like.

Questions COGIC churches ask

Is Tap.Giving affiliated with the Church of God in Christ?

No. This page is a resource we wrote for churches in the Church of God in Christ. Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Church of God in Christ. We make tap-to-give discs for any church; this page simply explains why they fit COGIC churches, from local congregations to jurisdictional gatherings.

What is the minimum order?

100 discs. Every disc is custom printed with your church's artwork, so production starts at 100. Pricing is $5.00 a disc at 100 to 199, $4.00 at 200 to 399, and $3.50 at 400 or more.

How long does it take to get our discs?

About 2 to 3 weeks from artwork approval. That is an estimate, not a promise, and there is no rush service, so order ahead of the launch Sunday or move you want them for. Shipping is free.

Can we change where the discs point later?

Yes, any time, in the free Redirect Dashboard. Changes take effect in seconds and there is no limit on how often you change. Point every campus at one giving page today, then give a new campus its own page next month, without reprinting anything.

We host jurisdictional conferences and convocations. Will discs work at events?

Yes. Nothing is installed in the building. Discs ride on the registration tables, welcome signage, and giving stations your team sets up for the event, using the standard 3M adhesive backing or the table stands. Point them at an event giving or information page for the week, then back to Sunday giving afterward in the free Redirect Dashboard.

Which giving platforms does it work with?

Any of them. The disc opens whatever giving link you give it, for example a Tithely, Pushpay, or Subsplash giving page. If your church changes platforms, update the destination in the dashboard and the same discs keep working.

How durable are the discs?

They are waterproof PVC, 0.85 mm thick with a matte finish, and the NTAG213 chip inside is locked. The 3M adhesive backing is standard for signs, counters, and chair backs, and optional pre-drilled screw holes suit permanent mounting once you have a permanent home.

What if they do not work for our church?

Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the discs are not right for your church, contact us within 30 days for a refund.
