We at Word of Grace, also believe that women are a vital part of the ministry.
We believe that women should have a vital role in the ministry of the church. The first witness to the resurrection was a
woman & women were instrumental in the ministry of the early church. The traditional church has not taken advantage of
this valuable resource. Paul said that both male & female are one in Christ, so both men & women are able to minister
God's Righteousness. Men forget that God is the ordainer, for He chooses people to minister, so we should let God choose whom
he will, instead of telling God how we want it to be.
