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

Bethany Cruz's screening has expired

Worth filling in

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.

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.
