Create productive staff meeting agendas that cover essential topics while building team unity and moving the church mission forward. This prompt helps you structure meetings that are purposeful, efficient, and energizing rather than draining your staff’s limited time and energy.

Generate a staff meeting agenda with these details:

Meeting frequency: [e.g., "Weekly Monday morning" or "Bi-weekly Tuesday afternoon"]
Meeting length: [e.g., "90 minutes" or "1 hour"]
Staff composition: [e.g., "4 people: Lead pastor, worship, youth, admin" or "2 people: Pastor and ministry coordinator"]
Current season/context: [e.g., "Planning fall ministry launch" or "Year-end evaluations coming up" or "Normal operations"]
Key topics to address: [e.g., "Upcoming Easter services, budget review, staff conflict" or "Regular weekly coordination"]
