ANSWER: No! Christ established the church the way He wanted it a long time ago on the day of Pentecost (Acts, chapter two). A woman may, however, teach privately and encourage men and women to “congregate” for scriptural worship. However, this does not mean that she can violate 1 Timothy 2:11-12; 1 Corinthians 11:3; and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 by preaching to men, overseeing, or “running” the congregation!
