Educating Women at the First Baptist Church of Brooksville, Florida, on Women’s Leadership Roles in Accord With Complementarianism

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to educate the women of the First Baptist Church of Brooksville on their biblically-designated leadership roles as outlined by complementarianism. The first chapter introduces the theology and rationale behind complementarianism, setting the stage for deeper conversations and exploration. The second chapter explores the scriptural qualifications for elders, deacons, and women, as outlined in 1 Timothy and Titus, and sheds light on their significant roles in the church. The third chapter navigates the contemporary discourse of evangelical feminism and complementarianism, juxtaposing them with the scriptural stance on church leadership and the integral roles women play. Chapter 4 outlines the methodology behind the research, detailing the curriculum’s development, instructional strategies, and the analytical approach used to analyze the data gathered. Chapter 5 provides a comprehensive assessment of the project, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses and determining its overall impact and efficacy in educating women at FBC Brooksville on women’s leadership roles within the context of complementarianism.
