How do we know that women can serve in the church?

In Romans 16, Paul commends several women who played crucial roles in ministry and were instrumental in serving the church, demonstrating that women are called to minister alongside men. While the office of elder is reserved for qualified men, women are unrestricted in other areas of service, including sharing the gospel and teaching. This is consistent with Scripture's portrayal of women in ministry, affirming their significant contributions and the equality of their calling in Christ.
