Workshop Leader: Rev. Chad Kohlmeyer, Lead Pastor, Atonement Lutheran Church, Boulder, CO
Pastor Chad Kohlmeyer’s personal call work has led him to focus on building relationships that offer sacred space to grow in spirituality, to create space for the Holy Spirit to work, and to offer stability, patience, and gentleness amid transition, change, and stress. As a trained coach and consultant, his Pinnacle West work walks with individuals, leadership teams, and congregations to discover vibrant, vision-driven relationships and community in the way of Jesus. He believes that intentional discernment work in a time of accelerated change is vital for congregational health. He is married to Aly (also ELCA clergy), and they spend much of their time raising their three boys. He enjoys curling, all the outdoor opportunities Colorado offers, but especially downhill skiing, which he attends to every chance he gets. Chad grew up in northwest Wisconsin and has served at Atonement Lutheran Church, Boulder, CO (ELCA) since 2008, first as Associate Pastor, and since 2016 as Lead Pastor. Before 2008, he served a two-point congregation in rural Wisconsin.
