As a woman who has been gifted and called by God, I\u2019m truly thankful for the Covenant\u2019s position on women in pastoral ministry! I don\u2019t think I realized how important this affirmation was until January 2011, when I formally entered the call process.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that I had served as the Pastor to Youth and Families at Bethany Covenant Church in CT for 11 years. Feeling very affirmed in my calling there, and seeing a good balance of men and women in my seminary classes at North Park Theological Seminary, I admit I never really thought about the barriers that might exist as I sought a new calling. However, as I began interviewing for a lead pastor role, I began to understand that not all churches affirmed female pastors, even in the Covenant. In fact the church in which I now serve had previously questioned the role of women in lead pastoral roles (women had served on the Church Council and in supportive ministerial roles).<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the rich faith heritage of our congregation, I understand their concerns were not due to closed-minds, but a strong commitment to God\u2019s Word and will. They honestly wrestled with difficult texts which led them to question the Biblical role of women in pastoral leadership. Yet they decided not to dismiss the tough questions. Fully embracing their adopted ECC identity they chose to ask \u201c<i>where is it written?\u201d<!--more--><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Interim Pastor Paul Bengtson, Associate Pastor Jeffrey Kahl and SCC\u2019s Pastoral Search Team intentionally invited the congregation to enter into thoughtful conversations about women in ministry. They did this through many of the steps which Corrie listed in her blog last week: they invited female guest preachers, taught a Sunday School class using the *<i>Called and Gifted<\/i> curriculum, and preached sermons about the roles of both male and female leaders in the church.<\/p>\n<p>When I candidated in July of 2011 I understood there was still some concern about calling a woman to a Senior Pastor position. However, the church discerned I was the person God was calling to serve their flock. My husband Ken and I also felt God\u2019s affirmation, and I\u2019m so glad we did! I love serving in this community and am truly thankful to God for this wonderful ministerial call! I daily rejoice in the privilege to walk and grow with this faithful, loving, mission-minded congregation! I feel truly blessed! Yet I do not take this blessing lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Although many women are serving in ministerial roles in the Covenant Church, the position of \u201cSenior Pastor\u201d is still predominately male. I wonder how many Covenant churches choose to overlook called and gifted lead pastors because of their gender? While I deeply appreciate the Covenant\u2019s stance on women in ministry, I believe this position in itself is not enough. There is also a need for many Covenant Churches to intentionally enter into thoughtful, Bible-based conversations about women in ministry. As we engage in such encounters together, you never know how Jesus might open someone\u2019s heart and mind to present a broader vision of His Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Recently some faithful saints at our church shared with me that they had never considered having a woman as a senior pastor, and had even voted against my call. However, they chose to stand behind the vote of the larger church. They are so glad they did! And as they&#8217;ve seen the Lord working through me and through us, they&#8217;ve changed their minds and now fully embrace our partnership in ministry! We have truly grown to love each other and to celebrate our God-given mission together! \u00a0Thanks be to God from whom all blessings flow!<\/p>\n<p>With Joy and Hope In Christ,<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Becky Poor<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Called &amp; Gifted<\/span><\/em> Study Materials can be found at the Covenant\u2019s Website at <a href=\"http:\/\/covbooks.com\/products\/called-and-gifted-leaders\">here<\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">.<\/span>\u00a0These resources include an informational booklet, DVD, and facilitators guide for a 9 week study group.
