Welcome to CBE!
CBE International (Christians for Biblical Equality) advances the gospel by equipping Christians to use their God-given talents in leadership and service regardless of gender, ethnicity, or class.
CBE, a 501c3 nonprofit, is supported by a community that believes the Bible, properly interpreted, calls women and men to lead and serve as equals, based on Scriptures such as Galatians 3:28, Genesis 1:27-28, Genesis 3:16, Ephesians 5:21, 1 Corinthians 7:4, 1 Corinthians 11:11, 1 Timothy 2:11-15, 1 Timothy 3: 1-15, Acts 2: 16-17, Romans 16:1-7
