One must leave the church because the election of a woman as an elder is only a symptom of a much more serious problem.

That is, they are not qualified to be church leaders.

What it did have were nameless groups of elders or overseers, such as the Ephesian elders who met with Paul, or the elders Paul greeted at the start of his letter to the Philippians. That said, the Bible identifies at least three females who pastored. It’s time for us to meet these little-known ladies.
