Staff meeting agenda

I'm always interested in how other church's run their staff meetings, so I'd thought Id' share our meeting agenda just in case someone else has the same interest.

We meet on Tuesdays from 9am to 5pm.  Mondays are a day off.  The meeting is formatted around the three main "flywheels" GBCK is pushing on: 1)discipleship, 2)Weekend services, and 3)leadership development.

9am - 10am: Leadership discussion
We use this time to discuss a book we're reading together as a staff.  Currently, we're listening to Breaking Growth Barriers by Nelson Searcy.

10am - 12pm: Administration, follow-up, discipleship
We use this time to follow-up on people and tasks.  We talk about what needs to be done for upcoming events, classes, or services.  We also focus on following-up with people who filled out a Connection card from this past Sunday.

12pm - 2pm: Weekend services
We discuss upcoming message series, specials, music, and anything else that involves the worship and preaching.  We try to get as far ahead as possible.  We're always trying to make our services more compelling and comfortable.

2pm - 5pm: more discipleship and leadership
We talk about our discipleship process.  We gauge how many people are moving through the process.  We look for ways to improve and tweak things.  We also focus on small group leadership and ministry leadership.  Currently, we're talking a lot about leadership seasons, and about developing a system for progress and feedback reports.
