What does the Bible say about woman preachers?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible affirms the equal worth and shared salvation of women and men while ordinarily reserving the governing teaching office of the church to qualified men. Galatians 3:28-29 celebrates the unity of all believers in Christ, and Acts 21:9 shows that women exercised the gift of prophecy. Yet 1 Timothy 2:11-15 calls women to learn quietly and does not permit them to teach or exercise authority over men in the gathered church. This accords with 1 Timothy 3:1-2, where overseers are described as qualified husbands, and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, which calls for orderly worship. Women richly serve through prayer, discipleship, hospitality, evangelism, and many other ministries.
