We will only Charter women into a Ministry Not a Church.

I feel this needs further explanation

We believe the role of a woman in Church is not to lead men but to lead other women and children. We believe that is the God Ordained role of women. We therefore will issue Ministry Charters to women to go and teach other women and children in their ministry.  1 Corinthians 14v34-35, 1 Timothy 5v2, Titus 2v4. [Genesis 3v16. tells us this, "Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over you." To rule over does not mean to oppress in any way. It means to be under the man's leadership in a Church setting as well as at home].

The woman's role is no less important than of the man's in the Church as well as at home. But each role is different and God ordained it this way from the very beginning.  In Biblical times the wife took care of complete household responsibilties and the raising and teaching of the children, and the teaching of her daughters and daughters-in-law and other women in her community. She did this of course in counsel with her husband.  And the man of God knows that he is to love his wife as the Lord loves the Church. That means he must give her uttmost respect and listen to any suggestions and advice his wife might give. This is true as well in the church. Men church leaders are to do the same with women "being silent in church". This means God does not want woman to teach men in a church setting. They can however hold women Bible studies, lead church music, sing in special music, teach chuldren Sunday school and many other opportunities. My wife helps me teach the Bible in our nursing home ministry praise and worship services because the majority of people there are women. She leads worship songs and reads and explains Bible Scripture between the songs. TCOLW has independent Ministers that go into nursing homes, Women's prisons, and other settings that are primarily women gatherings to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

I hope that I have made myself clear on this subject. That the role of men and women are equal to God. One is not more important then another. We charter this way because it is the way God commands it to be.

TCOLW will issue charters to those that are worthy of that recognition, who voluntarily hold themselves accountable for such recognition, in sharing common callings, beliefs, missions, unity in essential doctrines, and upholding of ethical Christian standards of the Bible and of TCOLW beliefs.Click on link below to see our beliefs.
