Women's Ministry--
​Then and Now

Brookes Bible College hosted a special presentation focusing on women's ministry in the New Testament period, the Scripture's instruction for women serving in the church and the world, and what faithfulness looks like today, led by guest speaker, Dr. Will Varner, Professor of Bible and Greek at The Master's University (Santa Clarita, CA). Students, faculty, and guests who joined came away stirred and encouraged by the Word of God! At Brookes Bible College, we believed that God has called men and women to various ministries within the church, and that ministry is not reserved to only the role of elders (a role restricted in the New Testament to appointed godly men).


About Dr. Varner

Dr. Varner, a native of South Carolina, came to the Lord at the age of 17. He is a graduate of Bob Jones University,  Biblical Theological Seminary, Dropsie College and Temple University--earning many awards and honors in his studies. He served for 17 years with The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry in New Jersey, and as a pastor in churches in Pennsylvania and California. Dr. Varner has led various groups to Israel--50 trips and counting. Dr. Varner currently serves a Professor of Bible and Greek at The Master's University, Santa Clarita, CA where he also directs the IBEX overseas study program in Israel, and Pastor of the Sojourners fellowship group at Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA. He and his wife Helen have two grown children and one with the Lord and four beautiful grandchildren. He has an avid interest in the Civil War and a love for Tolkien’s fiction and Daniel Silva's international espionage novels starring Gabriel Allon. But what he loves most is traveling to England and other countries with Helen because she is so adventurous. Check out an excerpt of Dr. Varner's teaching HERE.
