Creative Ways Churches Are Using Tithely Tap

Picture this.

A young family slips into the back row a few minutes late. They’re juggling kids, snacks, and nerves. When the pastor mentions a connection card, they glance around… no clipboard, no pen, no awkward hand wave.

Then they notice a small disc on the seatback in front of them.

“Tap here if you’re new.”

Five seconds later, they’ve filled out a digital connection card, checked the box for kids ministry info, and are back to focusing on the service.

That’s the magic of Tithely Tap.
Not flashy. Just frictionless.

Below are some of the most effective and creative ways churches are using Tap to welcome guests, increase participation, and replace paper with simple digital experiences—plus a few real-world moments to help you picture it in your own space.

How Churches Use Tithely Tap to Welcome First-Time Visitors

‍

Welcome, Engage, and Follow Up—Automatically

The follow-up problem churches quietly face

Most churches don’t lose guests because of bad sermons or unfriendly people. They lose them because connection never happens.

• Paper cards don’t get filled out
• QR codes get missed or feel awkward
• Handwriting is unreadable
• Follow-up gets delayed or never happens

One church told us, “We had visitors every week… We just couldn’t reach them afterward.”

How Tap creates an instant visitor pathway

With Tap, the connection moment happens right when curiosity is highest.

• A Tap disc on the seatback or chair back
• One tap opens your digital connection card
• No app, no camera, no searching

We’ve seen churches place Tap discs:

• On seatbacks (“New here? Tap to connect”)
• At welcome desks
• On lobby signs near the coffee
• Even at kids check-in, where a tap opens the check-in flow instantly

Why digital connection cards work better

Once a visitor taps and submits:

• Follow-up emails or texts can trigger automatically
• Data is clean and legible
• Everything flows straight into Tithely ChMS

One pastor shared, “We didn’t change our follow-up process at all. We just finally started getting the data.”

More connection cards → more follow-up → more return visits.
It’s simple, measurable, and surprisingly powerful.

Tithely Tap for Church Events, Groups & Sign-Ups

One Tap. Instant Sign-Ups.

Every church leader knows this moment.

You make an announcement.
People nod.
They genuinely plan to sign up.

And then… they forget.

Why registrations break down

• Long URLs are forgotten
• QR codes are missed
• Paper sign-up sheets are inaccurate
• Welcome tables get backed up

How Tap changes the game

Tap moves sign-ups into the moment.

During a service announcement, a pastor simply says:
“Pull out your phone and tap the disc in front of you to sign up.”

That’s it.

No typing.
No lines.
No hunting for links later.

Common Tap use cases churches love

Churches are using Tap for:

• Giving Tithes and Offerings
• Small groups and Bible studies
• VBS registration
• Volunteer onboarding
• Youth events
• Conferences and retreats

One church placed a Tap disc directly on their event poster in the lobby. Another keeps a Tap disc on the podium during announcements that links to whatever needs sign-ups that week.

Season changes?
Just update the link—no reprinting, no replacing hardware.

Replacing Church Bulletins with Tithely Tap Digital Tools

The End of Paper Bulletins

A church admin once told us, “By the time the bulletin is printed, it’s already wrong.”

Paper bulletins are:

• Expensive
• Time-consuming
• Frequently outdated
• Easy to miss or throw away

Tap as your digital bulletin on-demand

With Tap, churches are replacing stacks of paper with one simple action:
Tap to see today’s bulletin.

A single tap can open:

• The digital bulletin
• Sermon notes
• Scripture references
• Announcements
• Giving links
• Media playlists

Everything updates in real time.

Why digital engagement performs better

Churches using digital bulletins see:

• Higher engagement with announcements
• More clicks on next steps
• Better awareness of events
• Increased follow-through

One worship leader shared, “People stopped asking where the bulletin was. They just tapped and moved on.”

How Churches Are Rolling It Out (Without Overthinking It)

Getting started with Tithely Tap is refreshingly simple:

1. Choose the link you want people to access
2. Assign it to a Tap disc
3. Place the disc where the action happens
4. Mention it clearly and briefly

Sample announcement:

“If you’re new or want to take a next step today, just tap the disc on the seatback in front of you. It’ll open everything you need.”

That’s it.

No apps.
No subscriptions.
No learning curve.

One Small Tap. A Lot of Momentum.

Tithely Tap doesn’t try to reinvent church engagement.
It simply removes friction at the moments that matter most.

• When guests are deciding whether to connect
• When people are ready to sign up
• When information needs to be clear and accessible

One tap.
Right place.
Right moment.

And suddenly, more people are taking their next step—without feeling pushed, rushed, or confused.

That’s what Tithely Tap was built for.
