We believe women should NOT be ordained because it would NOT be in harmony with the clear teaching of Scripture. (I Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9, I Timothy 2:11-15,) In today's society women are protesting against the roles that are traditionally assigned to them. Much of their argument is justified in matters relating to wages, and salaries and job assignments in the secular realm. But the protest has not stopped in these areas. It has reached into the Realm of the Church and related ministries. Today many groups are ordaining women as ministers and some are being place in the pastorate. We recognize the right of these groups to conduct their affairs as they feel led. However, we do not agree nor condone the practice of ordaining women. We recognize that there is a ministry for women as counselors, teachers and helpers both in the local church, and the mission field (Romans 16:1-6, Titus 2:3-5)
