Pastors and Women in Ministry

by Denny Burk

At the 2017 Gospel Coalition meeting last week, there was a fascinating panel discussion about pastors and women in ministry. It’s a discussion about how complementarian pastors can encourage and strengthen the vital ministries of women in their churches. The panelists include Kevin DeYoung, Melissa Kruger, Kori Porter, Mary Willson, and Sandy Willson. Here’s a description of the panel from The Gospel Coalition Website:

“How can we best cultivate effective partnership in gospel ministry among men and women in the local church? How can a church help equip women for ministry within the congregation? What are some reasons for and benefits of staff positions for women in the area of discipleship and women’s ministry? This panel will address these and other questions relating to men and women ministering together under the leadership of pastors and elders.”
