Women are called to the ministry in numerous ways according to Scripture, serving with spiritual gifts, proclaiming the gospel, and holding recognized ministry roles though the extent and nature of these roles are understood differently across Christian traditions.​

They are Called and Gifted by God, just as much as men, are called to minister to others, demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit, and proclaim the gospel to the lost. The Bible does not restrict women from exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit including teaching, prophecy, evangelism, mercy, and service. Women are commanded to use their spiritual gifts for the building up of the church.

We see Women in Ministry in Old and New Testament ministering at the door of the Tabernacle and offering their own sacrifices like:​

• Deborah served as a prophet and judge in Israel.
• The Samaritan woman became an evangelist after meeting Jesus, leading many in her town to faith.​
• Mary Magdalene and other women were the first witnesses of the resurrection and were instructed by Jesus to proclaim this news to the disciples.​
• Tabitha (Dorcas) started a benevolence ministry.​
• Phoebe is called a “deacon” or “servant” in Romans 16:1, referring to a formal position of leadership in the church at Cenchreae.​
• Priscilla (Prisca) worked alongside her husband Aquila as co-laborers in ministry, correcting the teaching of Apollos and leading a house church.​
• Junia is commended by Paul as an apostle in Romans 16:7.​

We should all agreed the roles of Women to be Filled in the Ministry are:

• Evangelism and missions: Proclaiming the gospel to the lost.
• Teaching women and children: Discipleship and instruction.​
• Benevolence and care ministries: Serving widows, orphans, the sick, and the needy.​
• Prophecy and prayer: Speaking forth God’s Word and leading in corporate prayer.​
• Deacons/servants: Many scholars and churches affirm women serving as deacons based on Romans 16:1 and 1 Timothy 3:11, which lists character qualifications for women in a similar manner to male deacons.​

In short, Women are called to ministry through salvation, spiritual gifting, and the affirmation of the church. They serve in evangelism, teaching, prophecy, prayer, and often as deacons. While all traditions affirm women’s vital ministry contributions, interpretations differ regarding roles involving teaching or authority over men in the church
