This annual gathering, which alternates between a “day apart” and a multi-day retreat, is an opportunity to celebrate the connection of elders and pastors in the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. The 2017 Elders’ Day Apart, “Holy Leadership,” will feature Tim Keel, senior pastor of Jacob’s Well Church in Kansas City, Mo., as well as opportunities for worship and fellowship.
Holy Leadership
The cultural ground on which we lead, serve, and worship is shifting. As “the way we’ve always done it” becomes increasingly ineffective, and even harmful, pastors and other church leaders are seeking and building new innovative ways of leading the people of God. This year’s Elder’s Day Apart offers the opportunity to gather with colleagues and engage with a brother whose creative missional leadership is finding a way forward through the troubled waters of our time.
Speaker
Tim Keel is the founding pastor of Jacob’s Well, a “holistic, missional Christian community” located in Kansas City, Mo.

He is an avid reader and loves to learn, write, and teach. He is passionate about creating spaces for people to connect to God, themselves and others. Keel is the author of Intuitive Leadership: Embracing a Paradigm of Narrative, Metaphor, and Chaos (Baker, 2007), and is a contributor to Duke Divinity School’s Faith & Leadership.
