Equipping Women at Charlottesville Community Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, for Biblical Leadership in the Local Church Within the Framework of Complementarity

The purpose of this project is to equip women at Charlottesville Community Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, for biblical leadership in the local church within the framework of complementarity. Chapter 1 introduces the evaluation and overall understanding of biblical womanhood amid a culture of evangelical feminism. Chapter 2 provides the biblical and theological basis for women being adequately trained and equipped within the local church on biblical womanhood. Foundational to this understanding are a few key passages: Genesis 1–3, 1 Timothy 2:9–15, Titus 2:1, 3–5. Together, these passages provide the mandate to study and practice sound doctrine while providing biblical boundaries and permissible activities for women leading in the church. Chapter 3 addresses the impact of theological liberalism on women as it relates to the local church and the influence of theologically trained women throughout the history of the local church. Chapter 4 details the development and implementation of a biblical womanhood curriculum to be regularly offered at CCC. Chapter 5 concludes with an overall evaluation of the project, and suggestions for improvement and further development.
