MEN AND WOMEN IN MINISTRY AND LEADERSHIP
We believe both men and women are created in the image of God, gifted by the Holy Spirit, and called to actively participate in the life and ministry of the Church.
Throughout Scripture, we see women serving, leading, teaching, prophesying, discipling others, and advancing the Gospel. We affirm and encourage women to use their God-given gifts to serve, teach, and lead within the Church.
We believe, however, that the biblical office and role of pastor is reserved for qualified men in accordance with the teaching of Scripture.
We are committed to honoring, equipping, and empowering both men and women to faithfully use their gifts and fulfill the calling God has placed on their lives for the building up of the Church and the advancement of His Kingdom.
