Board oversight
Seven fictional board members serve staggered terms. The board approves annual budgets, senior leadership compensation, major borrowing, property transactions and independent financial review.
Governance + trust
Authority should
be legible.
A fictional transparency center showing how churches can explain who makes decisions, what policies exist, how concerns are raised, and where accountability lives.
Demo principle
Make the invisible visible.Roles, policies, conflicts, escalation paths and financial oversight should not require insider knowledge.
Staff authority
Staff own day-to-day ministry and operations within board-approved policy and budget. Significant exceptions are documented rather than handled informally.
Conflict handling
Conflicts of interest are disclosed, recorded and recused where appropriate. A production center could publish the policy and annual disclosure process.
Raise a concern
Members, staff and volunteers should have multiple reporting paths — including one that does not route through the person they are concerned about.
