This week at Zion, Pastor Jon continued our This We Believe series by opening Scripture to explore what the Bible teaches about Women in Ministry. From Genesis to the early church, we see God consistently calling and empowering women as image‑bearers, leaders, teachers, and partners in His mission.
Pastor Jon reminded us that women are not an afterthought in God’s story—they are essential contributors to His kingdom. We looked at examples like Deborah, Esther, Mary of Bethany, the Samaritan woman, and the women who first proclaimed the resurrection. At Pentecost, the Spirit was poured out on sons and daughters (Acts 2:17–18), making it clear that a Spirit‑filled church must make room for every gift God gives.
The heart of the message is simple: at Zion, we believe biblically qualified women may preach, teach, lead, pastor, and serve—not because culture demands it, but because Scripture reveals it. Our prayer is that every person would encounter Jesus, experience His love, and discover the joy of living according to His good design.
This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.
