What is a CBE church or organizational membership?
A church or organizational membership (for groups such as seminaries, Christian colleges, women’s studies departments, nonprofit organizations, and marriage ministries) is a partnership between CBE and the leadership of your group. Through a church or organizational membership, CBE provides you with publications, books, opportunities to host CBE speakers, and discounted conference registrations to equip and empower the egalitarian leadership of your organization.
 
Why should my church or organization become a CBE member?

While many churches and organizations are committed to biblical equality in theory, they may lack the resources or the experience to equip and mobilize their members to affirm and advance gift-based leadership. CBE’s writers and speakers are experienced and passionate about releasing both men and women to serve Christ. It’s what we do! If your church or organization is exploring biblical equality, or is already committed to it, we would love to walk alongside you through membership, providing resources and support.

How have various denominations embraced women in leadership?

Everyday individuals visit CBE's website seeking churches and organizations that are egalitarian. CBE's Egalitarian Church and Organizational Directory depends on recommendations for the names of churches that support biblical equality, women in ministry, gift based ministry, etc. Perhaps you participate in, or know of an egalitarian organization or church in your area? If so, please help us. Please submit your church or organization to be included of our online Egalitarian Church and Organizational Directory so others may be supported and encouraged. A pastor's or organizational leader's signature is required. Churches and organizations do not need to be member churches to be listed on CBE's web directory, but do need to agree with CBE's Statement of Faith.
 

What would your church look like if every member had a vital ministry?

From its inception, CBE has communicated the biblical truth that men and women are equally responsible to use their God-given gifts to further Christ's kingdom. We interviewed church pastors from three very different churches and found out how each embraced gender equality, and what they learned along the way in Crafting a Church Without Walls.

What is CBE's Egalitarian Church Directory?

CBE keeps a directory of egalitarian churches to recommend to our members and friends looking for a church in their area. Sign your church up for our list of egalitarian churches all over the world or read tips on finding an egalitarian church in your area.
