Click on the name of the church for the church’s web site.International Church of Barcelona, Spain. (Concerns about deaconesses/female deacons? See * above.)Ĭhurches outside the United States are toward the end of this list. Please use this list only as a suggestion of churches to check out using biblical wisdom and discernment. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the church directly to discuss this with the pastor.ĭISCLAIMER: I cannot personally vouch for the theology of any of the churches recommended nor the people who recommended them. There is biblical support for this position ( please click here for more information) in some cases, and this does not necessarily mean the church is doctrinally unsound or feminist. *A few of the churches on the list have deaconesses / female deacons. If you see a church listed that you know for a fact isn’t doctrinally sound, please email me or post a comment to let me know, and provide specific evidence.Įxamples of “isn’t doctrinally sound” include, but are not limited to: holding/practicing an unbiblical view of homosexuality, allowing women to serve as pastors, elders, or other positions of teaching/holding authority over men, a pattern of using Bible study materials authored by false teachers, a pattern of using music from heretical sources, New Apostolic Reformation, Critical Race Theory, social justice tendencies/teachings, significant and ongoing ungodly behavior by the pastor or church members, etc. Unfortunately, a few of the churches listed below may have taken an unbiblical turn since that time. Please keep in mind that this list has been in existence since 2017. See a church that shouldn’t be on the list? Any church that does not have a website (a social media page alone is not enough).Any church that does not have the pastor’s name ( and staff / elders, if any) listed on its website.Any church that does not have a detailed statement of faith (“What we believe,” “Doctrinal statement,” etc.) or link to such,.This includes, but is not necessarily limited to: churches with a female bearing the title of “pastor” (of anything) or “elder,” churches which allow women to function in pastoral roles without the title of pastor / elder (for example: female ministers of music or worship leaders discipleship “facilitators” or “directors” who essentially function as elders / associate pastors, and so on), churches which allow women to preach to, hold unbiblical authority over, or instruct men or co-ed groups in the Scriptures (for example: teaching / co-teaching co-ed adult Sunday School / Bible study classes or home / small groups). Any church that violates Scripture’s teaching on the role of women in the church ( 1 Timothy 2:11-3:7).(This now includes churches recommending or affiliated with The Gospel Coalition.) Any church that uses or recommends books and materials from false teachers. ![]()
