leadership/ women…


As women lead in the following ways, the church is just

as built up and strengthened as when the men lead,

and their visible example provides the role model for

the next generation…


Each married woman is to serve as the help-meet to her husband in the running of their home, and if a mother, to assist him in raising their children.  (Gen. 2:18; 1 Tim. 2:13; Prov. 31; 1 Tim. 5:16)


If a women is a single mom and the head of her house- hold, or just single and living on her own, then her household is to be ‘adopted’ by other households for support/ encouragement as needed.

(James 1:27)


Women older in the faith are to train women younger

in the faith.  (Titus 2)


All of the women are to serve the church according to their giftings, except where it might conflict with specific scriptural restrictions. (Rom. 12; Eph. 4; 1 Cor. 12; 11:1-17; 1 Cor. 14:34,35; 1 Tim. 2:8-15; 5:16; Luke 8:1-3)
