Hello Trent.  Would you be a member or ex member of the CCC yahoo list by any chance.

The question you might ask yourself, is where does Scripture specifically say that women cannot minister to the church.  If you also read 1 Cor. 12, you will see that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the express purpose of ministering to the church, the ekklesia.  It does not matter where the ekklesia is, in or out of a building, nor how many are gathered.  Everyone is to desire the best gifts for the purpose of ministering to the church in general.  And when the church comes together, we are to bring something to share according to 1 Cor.14:26+, including a teaching, a song, a prophesy, etc.

One needs to read the whole context.
