This is a demonstration — nothing here is a real church.

Wesley Chapel is invented, and so is everyone in it. This is the packet a departing pastor would hand to the next one: what the church has, who holds it, and — at the bottom — what nobody has written down yet.

The question worth answering:what would you need on your first day that isn’t here?

What isn’t written down yet

Worked out from the records themselves, so this can’t go stale. These are gaps in what’s recorded — not a verdict on how the church is run.

Nobody could answer these

  • Domain registrar has no two-factor destination recorded

    If the codes go to a departing person's phone, the church is locked out the day they leave. This is the single most common way a church loses an account.

  • Payroll provider has no two-factor destination recorded

    If the codes go to a departing person's phone, the church is locked out the day they leave. This is the single most common way a church loses an account.

  • Bethany Cruz's screening has expired

    Serving as Nursery Worker. Every certification on file is past its expiry date.

  • Joyce Alderman has no certification on file

    Serving as Nursery Worker, which this church has marked as requiring screening.

Worth filling in

  • No vault location recorded for Facebook page

    Itineracy never stores the password itself — but it should say where the church's own vault keeps it.

  • Nobody is recorded as holding Domain registrar

    Someone has the login. The register should say who, so the next person knows whom to ask.

  • No vault location recorded for Domain registrar

    Itineracy never stores the password itself — but it should say where the church's own vault keeps it.

  • No vault location recorded for Payroll provider

    Itineracy never stores the password itself — but it should say where the church's own vault keeps it.

  • Nobody is recorded as holding Copier lease

    Someone has the login. The register should say who, so the next person knows whom to ask.

  • Nobody is recorded as holding Music licensing (CCLI)

    Someone has the login. The register should say who, so the next person knows whom to ask.

  • Director of Children's Ministry has no current holder

    Either the post is genuinely vacant — worth saying out loud in a handoff — or someone is doing the work without it being recorded.

  • Priya Raman's screening expires soon

    Serving as Sunday School Teacher. Renewing before the handoff saves the next person the chase.

Minor blanks

  • No owner email recorded for Domain registrar

    Which address the account is registered to determines who can recover it.

  • No owner email recorded for Music licensing (CCLI)

    Which address the account is registered to determines who can recover it.

  • 1 person has certifications but no email

    Expiry reminders can't reach Ray Ocampo.
