The MET fully recognizes the intentional design of males and females by God. Throughout Scripture, we see that God gives the accountability of headship to men, while both genders have active leadership in the work of God’s Kingdom. God has gifted both men and women with leadership gifts to build up the body of Christ. The MET affirms women’s leadership in all volunteer capacities excluding headship (eldership) and all staff capacities excluding that of Senior Pastor (elder).
