What does the Bible say about the role of women in church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that women are to learn in silence and not usurp authority over men in the church (1 Timothy 2:12).

In 1 Timothy 2:11-12, it is stated that women are to learn in silence and are not permitted to teach or exercise authority over men. This reflects the order established by God in creation where Adam was formed first. Women are encouraged to be submissive and to focus on their roles within the church context, which is primarily one of learning and supporting rather than leading or teaching in mixed gatherings.
