Simplified, Accountable Structure (SAS)

Home / Simplified, Accountable Structure (SAS)

What is SAS?

The Simplified, Accountable Structure (SAS) is designed to streamline church governance, freeing up time and energy to build Christ’s Kingdom!

The SAS model is designed to help churches helping to more effectively build Christ’s Kingdom! The model streamlines traditional committee-heavy structures, combining many administrative functions into a single Leadership Board. That Board administers the trustees, finance, and staff-parish roles, and is accountable for administration, decision-making, and aligning the church’s mission. Board members are chosen for their spiritual maturity, leadership gifts, and accountability to the church’s mission. The purpose is to free up time and energy for ministry by reducing bureaucratic layers.

Stay tuned for more information on how St. Stephen’s can benefit from the Simplified Accountable Structure model.
