Q. What is the ERPC's position on ordaining women to the office of deacon or elder?

A. Our Form of Government states:

We affirm that the Scriptures teach that it is not permissible to ordain women to the office of minister, elder, or deacon. [1 Corinthians 11:2-16, 14:33-36; 1 Timothy 2:8-3:7; Titus 1:5-9]
