Sanctuary and Sunday worship
Free Methodist worship is warm and participatory, and the offering is a regular act of it. Discs on chair backs and pew ends let a member or guest give in that moment, without downloading an app or hunting for a link.
For Free Methodist churches
Tap-to-Give Discs for Free Methodist Churches
A guest taps a disc with their phone and your giving page opens, ready for their gift. No app to install, no link to read out loud, and nothing to mount that a congregation cannot carry to its next room. Put one everywhere your church gathers, from the sanctuary on Sunday to the annual conference and the missions emphasis table.
Works with any giving page

Tap.Giving makes custom NFC tap-to-give discs for churches, and this page is written for churches in the Free Methodist Church USA, a Wesleyan-holiness denomination founded in 1860, whose denominational yearbook counts about 850 congregations in the United States, organized into annual conferences. A church orders discs printed with its own artwork, places them where people gather (welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signage, fellowship halls and annual conference venues), 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 Free Methodist churches, and Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Free Methodist Church USA.

About the Free Methodist Church USA
The Free Methodist Church USA is a denomination in the Wesleyan-holiness tradition, founded in 1860 in western New York under the leadership of B. T. Roberts. Its name carries its founding convictions: pews free for everyone rather than rented, and freedom in worship. Its denominational yearbook counts about 850 congregations in the United States, organized into annual conferences led by superintendents and bishops. To be plain about identity: the Free Methodist Church is a separate denomination from the Global Methodist Church and from The Wesleyan Church, two other bodies that share Wesleyan roots, and each of them has its own page here. This page is about the Free Methodist Church USA alone.
Annual conferences carry the connection between local churches, and global missions partnerships run deep: Free Methodist congregations support mission work and sister churches around the world, and missions giving is an ordinary, expected part of congregational life. A giving tool in a Free Methodist church serves the local sanctuary, the conference gathering, and partners on the other side of the world.
Where do tap-to-give discs go in a Free Methodist church?
A Free Methodist congregation gathers for worship on Sunday, then moves through small groups, youth ministry, and community work all week, and joins sister churches at annual conference each year. The giving moment has to work in every one of those rooms. A link on a screen works until the service moves fast, the venue changes, or a first-time guest has no idea what your giving URL is.
A disc removes the friction everywhere it sits. The destination lives in the dashboard and not on the disc, so the same discs keep working as your church hosts conference, emphasizes missions, or changes giving platforms.
Annual conferences and camp meetings
Annual conferences and camp meetings gather local churches in host sanctuaries, campuses, and rented venues. Discs at welcome and registration tables open the page the host chooses for that gathering, then go back to Sunday giving when it ends.
Global missions emphasis
Missions partnerships are part of the identity, and a missions emphasis deserves its own simple way to give. Discs at a missions table can open your missions giving page for the season, then return to regular giving in the dashboard, with no new printing.
Community and campus ministry
Food ministries, recovery groups, and campus outreach draw people who may never attend on Sunday. Discs at ministry tables and entrances open the page you choose for that audience, set per group in the dashboard.

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.
- Annual conference tables. Pastors and delegates from sister churches meet the same simple way to give where they gather.
Built for local congregations with a global family
A Free Methodist church can host annual conference, send a missions team, or change giving platforms in the same season it marks a century in its neighborhood. Printed pieces usually die at every change: the giving card names the old platform, the sign names the old venue. 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 sanctuary, the fellowship hall, and the annual conference venue. When the destination changes, you change a setting, not a print run.
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.
Churches live on changing links: a missions emphasis gives way to everyday giving, an annual conference gets its own page, 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 in your sanctuary can open a different page from the discs at an annual conference table.
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
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 sanctuary and fellowship hall, a congregation that hosts conference gatherings, or a church running ministries across several rooms. If your congregation is still small and gathers in one 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 Free Methodist churches ask
Is Tap.Giving affiliated with The Free Methodist Church USA?
No. This page is a resource we wrote for churches in the Free Methodist Church USA. Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Free Methodist Church USA. We make tap-to-give discs for any church; this page simply explains why they fit Free Methodist congregations, from Sunday worship to annual conferences and global missions emphasis.
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 Sunday or annual conference 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 disc at one giving page today, then point an annual conference or a missions appeal at its own page next month, without reprinting anything.
Is the Free Methodist Church the same as the Global Methodist Church or The Wesleyan Church?
No. All three bodies share roots in the teaching of John Wesley, but they are separate denominations with separate histories and leadership. The Free Methodist Church was founded in 1860, the Global Methodist Church launched in 2022, and The Wesleyan Church is a separate Wesleyan-holiness denomination with its own page here. This page is written for churches in the Free Methodist Church USA. Tap.Giving makes discs for any church, whichever body it belongs to, and the discs work the same either way.
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.
