Women and the Church (Doctrine of the Church)

What role do women truly have in the life and ministry of the church? In this message, Rushdoony explores Paul’s instructions to Timothy and uncovers the often-neglected office of deaconess, the responsibilities of widows, and the high calling of women as servants in Christ’s family. Far from sidelining women, Scripture honors them with meaningful duties rooted in faith, charity, and community. The biblical vision affirms the dignity of women in the church—not by flattening distinctions, but by upholding God’s order, where grace, strength, and humble service flourish together.
