How do we understand men's and women's roles in the church according to the Bible?

The biblical understanding of men and women’s roles in the church is rooted in the principle of complementarianism. According to Scripture, men are called to lead and teach, while women have vital supportive and nurturing roles, as seen in texts like 1 Timothy 2:11-12 and 1 Corinthians 11:3. This is not a hierarchy of worth but a divine order that reflects how God created humanity (Genesis 2:18). Both men and women are equally valuable in God's eyes, sharing in salvation and bearing gifts for the body of Christ. Recognizing these distinct roles helps maintain order and unity within the church, glorifying God through our differences.
