Welcome to the Streamline Admin System
Purpose
This book is Mayflower Church's operational playbook, organized around the 12 systems identified in Michael Lukaszewski's Streamline: How To Create Healthy Church Systems. It is a living document — pages start as overviews and will grow into procedures, templates, and decision records.
Mission anchor: Building a discipleship community rooted in the knowledge of Christ, driven by faith, empowered to share the Gospel, and committed to welcoming and equipping others in Love and Truth.
How to Use This Book
- Each chapter covers one system in the rollout sequence.
- Each chapter begins with an Overview page using the Principle + Mayflower Practice format.
- Status tags on each page indicate whether the system is Completed, Active, Upcoming, or On Hold.
- Open Questions at the bottom of each page are deliberately unanswered — they mark decisions still to be made.
