“The nature of water is soft, that of stone is hard; but if a bottle is hung above the stone, allowing water to fall drop by drop, it wears away the stone. So it is with the word of God; it is soft and our heart is hard, but the man who hears the word of God often, opens his heart to the fear of God”

women in the new testament church
Resurrection Philadelphia believes God calls women and men to serve equally as leaders, pastors, and teachers in the Church, to equip the Body’s many members for the work of ministry. However, in the history of the global church and in the Bible itself, there seem to be conflicting ideas around how women participate in the church. Given texts that seem to reject female leadership, can Resurrection still claim to be faithful to the authority of the Bible? Or does the story of the Bible give us a different picture of the role of women leaders in the church than Christians have historically believed?
Come join us for a seven week class on Tuesday nights starting on September 17th to explore the Bible, context, and women's leadership in the church.
