Ministries and denominations which do not endorse Women's Ordination
Christian Research Institute
(CRI), “Another resource that will be helpful in studying the subject of
women in leadership is called Women in
Ministry, edited by Bonnidell and Robert Clouse (IVP 1989)…We would add,
however, that the position of the book’s editors is that women can be head
pastors, which is not the position of CRI”.1
Christian Apologetics and
Research Ministry (CARM), “God's word clearly tells us that the elder is to
be the husband of one wife. A woman cannot qualify for this position by virtue
of her being female. Whether anyone likes it or not is irrelevant to the fact
that this is what the Bible teaches”. (Source:

Koinonia House, the
Ministry of Chuck and Nancy Missler, the creators of blueletterbible.org, “Chuck
agrees that women should not be pastors over men in the life of a church”. 1
American Baptist Association,
“We believe that there are two divinely appointed offices in a church, pastors
and deacons, to be filled by men whose qualifications are set forth in Titus
and 1 Timothy."
Orthodox Presbyterian Church,
“Positions of elders, deacons, pastors can only be filled by men”.
