THRIVING LABS

Announced throughout the year, Thriving Labs and their follow-up Table Sessions provide opportunities to learn, try, reflect, and grow. Labs are hosted each quarter, thanks to the generous support of Thriving in Ministry donors.

When you register, please note your anticipated attendance options. To support the widest scope of ministers and their vocational commitments, typically both a daytime and evening lab will be listed for each topic. Registered participants are also sent a link to watch back the recording if you aren’t able to attend live. Then, put into practice what you’ve heard! The next month, come back together for the Table Session - where the conversation continues. This unique, facilitated Zoom call will let participants talk about their experience, what the might agree/disagree with, what is helping, share something God is saying, or just have the chance to hear from peers who are growing in some of the same ways.

In this one hour Thriving Lab, pastors can touch base with their theology of rest, face the difficult reality of their current pace and schedule, then gain ideas to create a better, more sustainable way forward.
