ON COMPLEMENTARIANISM
These are some of our favorite resources on the topic of gender roles in the home and the church. For many churches and many women, the place to start is thinking through your own theological convictions on the roles of women within the church. We hope that these resources help you do that.

HOW
These tools help with the practical parts of communication. Amazing Bible exposition can still be lost if communication basics are missed. All these resources help with the “rubber meets the road” in teaching.
