Christians for Biblical Equality - Church Membership

Christians for Biblical Equality: Churches

CBE offers services to church around the world!
 

Everyday, individuals visit CBE's website seeking a church that is supportive of the egalitarian view. CBE's Egalitarian Church Directory depends on recommendations for the names of churches that support biblical equality, women in ministry, gift based ministry, etc. Perhaps you attend or know of an egalitarian church in your area. If so, please submit your church to be listed on our Egalitarian Church Directory online so others may be supported and encouraged. A pastor's signature is required. Churches do not need to be member churches to be listed on CBE's web directory, but do need to agree with CBE's Statement of Faith.

Why should my church become a CBE member?

CBE educates and encourages members through quarterly issues of Priscilla Papers and Mutuality, large member discounts on scholarly and popular books, news and free articles on our website, discounts on international conferences, and support for forming local CBE chapters. Each year, church members receive a free book including a study guide that is published in Mutuality. CBE also encourages churches to provide resources to their congregations through special sales and our every-day member discount.

How have various denominations embraced women in leadership?

CBE members belong to more than 80 denominations and live in 37 countries, including the United States. Most denominations ordain women, but some denominations have had greater success actually drawing women into leadership positions. Learn more about some of the United States’ largest denominations, their positions on women in leadership and the percentage of their clergy that are female in The Status of Women in the Church. With your pastor's permission (required), please submit your church to be listed on our Egalitarian Church Directory online so others may be supported and encouraged.

What would your church look like if every member had a vital ministry?

From its inception, CBE has communicated the biblical truth that men and women are equally responsible to use their God-given gifts to further Christ's kingdom. We interviewed church pastors from three very different churches and found out how each embraced gender equality, and what they learned along the way in Crafting a Church Without Walls.
