Co-Lab Feedback Loops

The Ministry Lab’s Co-Lab Feedback Loops are cohorts in which leaders exchange ideas and resources to multiply and amplify one another’s positive ministries.

A positive feedback loop, biologically speaking, is when the end product of an action causes more of that action to occur. A negative feedback loop “reduces the stimulus of that process”. But just as too much negativity will stifle health and growth, too much of a “good thing” can pull an organism or ecosystem away from homeostasis, and the imbalance can lead to illness or death.

Our Spring, 2021, Loop is launching!!

Each gathering will consist of:

• a contemplative moment
• reflection time
• partnered discussion
• large group inspirations and encouragement

Co-Lab Feedback Loops are a sharing ground for innovative and transformational approaches to community building and congregational life, resourcing for meeting challenges, and mutual support and affirmation.

Our general Spring, 2021 Loop will meet on the second Tuesday of each month, March through June (March 9, April 13, May 11 and June 8) from 2:00-3:30 PM CST.

Co-Lab Feedback Loops are free for Ministry Lab judicatory members.

Non-members may opt for the $25/four session fee; or can become subscribing members.
