Meet the Keynote:
Among all expectations that may be placed upon a Regional Minister, Paul Koch values most being a pastor to pastors and a shepherd for people seeking wider church connections in their faith. He is especially overjoyed that this includes helping men and his brothers among congregations grow into a deeper, vital, transformative spirituality through Disciples Men.
As a local pastor, he has always created weekly community men’s groups that had stable followings. Each took various approaches to content and when guides were scarce, he wrote his own curricula on dozens of topics and approaches.
His inner search to “find the courage to let go” and embrace vulnerability found clarity just seven years ago when he completed his Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP) in 2015. This is followed by participating in and leading annual depth retreats in northern Minnesota, New Mexico, the untamed Missouri Ozarks.
