What is the CandMA's perspective on women's roles in ministry?

The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) supports the involvement of women in a wide range of ministry activities. This perspective is rooted in the belief that both men and women are created in the image of God, equipped with spiritual gifts intended for use in the body of Christ. Therefore, women are not only permitted but are actively encouraged to engage in various roles, including pastoral leadership, teaching, evangelism, and missions.

This inclusive approach reflects the C&MA’s commitment to empower all believers to fulfill their calling, irrespective of gender, promoting a culture of collaboration and service throughout the church. The acceptance of diverse ministry capacities for women aligns with a broader understanding of scriptural teachings that value the contributions of women in ministry, fundamentally supporting their rights to lead and serve in many aspects of church life.
