Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Male-only elders (Milton Parrish, Dr. Tom Noss, Mark White) and male Senior Pastor G. Ryan Perry confirmed. Female 'Deaconess, Director of Worship' Melinda Albrycht remains — moderate complementarian not full patriarchal, but no women in pastor/elder office.

Male Senior Pastor G. Ryan Perry and male elders (Milton Parrish, Tom Noss, Mark White); however the church uses the title 'Deaconess' for three women (Melinda Albrycht/Director of Worship, Doni O'Connor, Shannon Holloway). In SBC context deaconesses are permitted but a yellow-flag signal on strict complementarianism.
