In today’s ministry world, Sundays aren’t what they used to be.

Attendance is less predictable. People show up every third week. Announcements don’t land like they used to. And the window to turn someone from visitor to connected is tighter than ever.

Meanwhile, some churches are attempting to piece together their own tools by buying cheap NFC discs online, printing QR codes, or trying to custom-build engagement platforms. But these solutions rarely deliver the seamless experience churches are hoping for, and they come with serious security risks.

There’s a better way to meet people in the moment.

It’s Overflow Tap for churches.

When Sunday Shrinks, Overflow Tap Steps Up

We’ve talked about this before: what happens in a Sunday service has to do more than ever before. You only get a few minutes (often a few seconds) to help someone take a next step.

Overflow Tap gives churches the ability to turn those moments into real connections.

With a simple tap of a phone, someone can open a digital connect card, a giving form, a volunteer interest link, a text message, an app download, a registration page, and more. You don’t need to download an app. Just tap your phone and go.

Designed for the Way People Already Live

People use their phones to do everything, including taping to pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

That’s why Tap feels intuitive. It’s not a tool people need to be trained on. It fits right into how they already use their phones every day.

Overflow Tap builds on that behavior with a secure dashboard your team can use to:

  • Change links in real time, even from your phone
  • Schedule link changes during service
  • Sync Tap with ProPresenter so it updates as your slides do

Whether someone is tapping a disc in the lobby or wearing a wristband at an event, the experience is fast, familiar, and frictionless.

Different Types of Tap Discs and NFC Tools for Churches

Overflow Tap isn’t just one product. It’s a flexible family of tools designed to meet different needs within your church environment.

Choose from:

  • Tap Discs - NFC with a laminated glossy finish
  • Tap Plates - NFC with a matte finish and screw holes (optional) for added stability
  • Tap Labels - NFC as a sticker for an event you can remove later
  • Tap Flex - NFC discs with a band for portable campuses
  • Tap Stands - for lobby or café tables
  • Tap Bracelets, Lanyards, and Wristbands - for events or teams that want to easily communicate information from a wearable
  • AND we can do something totally custom for your church

No other company offers this level of variety. And the way you deliver a Tap experience matters. Whether it’s discreetly placed in a seatback or built into a team badge, you’ll find a format that fits your flow.

More Churches, More Data, Better Results

Overflow has more churches using Tap products than any other platform. That means we’re constantly learning what works and passing those insights directly to you.

We’ve seen churches double small group signups and triple volunteer interest by creating simple moments that connect intention to action. From how to introduce Tap in your service to where to place it for highest engagement, our team brings real data and best practices to every launch.

You're not just getting hardware. You're gaining a partner who knows what works across hundreds of churches like yours.

Tap Is More Than a Shortcut. It’s a Strategy.

If you’ve tried to patch something together, like ordering NFC tags from Amazon or combining QR codes with giving forms, you’ve probably felt the friction. Tap is different.

Overflow Tap was built for churches and nonprofits, with real people in mind. It works consistently. It gives you control. It helps your team move fast without needing a developer on call (but we’re here if you need us).

Most of all, Tap helps your church make the most of every moment, whether you have someone’s attention for an hour or just a few seconds.
