Ministries for Women

While the Scriptures set some limits on the exercise or a woman’s priesthood, there are ministries which are open to her. In the local assembly, these include silent prayer and worship (1 Corinthians 11:5; 1 Corinthians 14:35); teaching and personal work with other women and children (Titus 2:3-5); and hospitality (Hebrews 13:2). There are ministries open to her outside the assembly but in conjunction with it. These include raising a family for God (1 Timothy 2:15); giving (Luke 8:3); colaboring with her husband in support of his ministry; engaging in projects for missionaries at home and abroad, and visiting the sick and the afflicted.
