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).
