I agree with the others - you need to check with the specific church. The broader question is whether a Song Leader needs to meet the qualifications of an elder. Many churches consider the Worship Leader position as a pastoral/teaching role since worship music also teaches theology. I personally feel the worship leader needs to be meet the elder qualifications, which would limit this role to men. "For a woman to serve as a worship leader or music minister in a church is a more difficult issue. Part of the difficulty in making application here lies in the lack of uniform agreement among various church traditions regarding the role and function of one who serves in such a ministry. It is certainly possible for a woman to serve in a position in which she leads in congregational singing during a church worship service. However, it would depend on how that particular church understands the degree of authority that she holds over the assembled congregation and the extent to which she provides instruction. Is her position understood as one of authority over the congregation similar to a pastor/elder? Does she provide doctrinal commentary between songs or other doctrinal instruction to the choir or congregation? Does her “leading” involve the exercising of authority over others or, rather, providing leadership regarding timing, tempo, music, etc.? Does she direct the church to a particular song in a hymnal and invite those assembled to praise the Lord, or does she engage in more biblical exhortation like a pastor/elder? Churches ought to take these kinds of questions into consideration when attempting to apply biblical principles to this ministry position." - “Women in Ministry: Practical Application of Biblical Teaching” – Journal for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood 13, no. 1 (Spring) (Christopher Cowan) |

Pew Potato: Often I have read the position you have stated, and it extends to other points beyond just what you have presented. Usually, when I have asked the question where does the culture at the time, relate to, in Pauls writtings. For instance we do not demand that women cover their heads today. Was head covering for women at the time of Pauls instructions, relating to culture or is it wrong for women not to cover their head today? Blessings. justme |

I believe that the principle of a woman being under her husband's authority is timeless. 1 Corinthians 11:3 (HCSB) But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ. I believe that the head covering as a sign of that authority was cultural. |

Pew Potato: I just want to assure you I am not a "Flame throwing Liberal". It is out of respect and kindness that I continue this subject. Am I right to say you believe women should wore a head covering in church now? We live near and are close friends with the Mennoite brethern. These dear Christians have made their point of living isolated from the "world" by using horse and buggies and adopting what some say are primitive ways. We are able to look beyond some stark differences, and enjoy some very interesting serious biblical dialogues. I have said this so you better understand my interest with you. Blessings. justme |

I think the physical symbol of a head covering applied to the culture of Corinth, but is not required in our culture. Most Americans do not associate a head covering with submission to authority. However, I recognize that in some branches of the church, a woman without a head covering would be seen as rebellious. |
