Bible Question: can a woman lead a church, my husband says that in the bible it states that a woman can preach but not be the leader of a church. i want to go to a church that has a woman pastor |
Bible Answer: Bwingate77: Welcome to the Forum! I thought to myself, about your question, why? The Histoy of women in ministry in the United states is rich and plentiful! Today many demonations have women as ordained pastors, and in about every position you can name. Galatians 3:28, 5:6-7, are some important verses to consider. There many demonations and churches that are at the very extreme side that won't even allow a woman to teach Sunday School. There is wide distance in how men and women think about ordination of women, and even women serving on church boards. This has been a topic in the forum and I doubt either side changed anyones views. I prefer to leave my bias out, and have presented just the facts as I understand them. I will say that proof of the call of God on ones life for ministry is validated by the Holy Spirit and a call of the church and is proven over time. Hope this helps. Blessings. justme |
