Roles of The Women In The Church Of Pentecost In Ghana

Abstract

The Church of Pentecost emphasizes the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and its gifts for every member of the church, yet women are limited in their roles due to the traditions of the church. This survey studies the roles of women in the church, taking into consideration the doctrines of the church, the culture of the people and the effect of contemporary society. Women have played and continue to play instrumental roles in the life and ministry of the church. Notwithstanding, apart from the Women's Movement, (the main organization of women in the church), women are not in any active leadership positions in the church. The contributions of these women must be recognized, while equal opportunities are given to them as well. This would result in an awareness and enhancement of their potentials. By this, Christianity for the Church of Pentecost would not be static but dynamic.
