It is our belief that women should be as prominent and valued in our churches as they were in Jesus' ministry. Jesus was the greatest liberator of women the world has ever seen. In a day and time in which women were commonly regarded as inferior or as mere possessions to be owned, used and discarded, he treated all the women in his life with respect and dignity.

We believe that Christian women have the same mission as men -- to change the world by making disciples of Christ. While Scripture instructs us not to put women in positions of authority over men (1 Timothy 2:12), they are to serve beside men in the work of the gospel (see Romans 16:1-16), as well as functioning as powerful leaders of other women (Titus 2:3-4). While some of their roles may be different from men, women are viewed by God as equals to their male counterparts (Galatians 3:28). This has all been brought about by our return to the simple, but revolutionary teaching of Jesus - that women and men in his church are disciples-first, foremost and always!
