Most church staff meetings lack energy and purpose, wasting valuable time and missing opportunities for team building and vision alignment. We explore six practical strategies to transform these gatherings from boring obligations into energizing huddles that your team will actually look forward to attending.
• Rethink the purpose - treat meetings as team huddles, not information dumps
• Start with energy by celebrating wins both big and small
• Make meetings interactive by engaging every voice through discussion and activities
• Use visuals and stories instead of reading reports word-for-word
• Focus on ministry impact rather than just logistics
• Build a feedback culture where team members can honestly share improvement ideas
• Consider changing meeting frequency if you're stuck in a rut
• Remember: if your meeting could have been an email, it probably should have been
