QUESTION: Policies Regarding Divorce and Remarriage of Ministers - ANSWER-We disapprove
of any married minister of the Assemblies of God holding credentials if either minister or
spouse has a former spouse living unless the divorce occurred prior to conversion or for the
scriptural causes of a former spouse's marital unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9), or the
abandonment of the believer by the unbeliever
(1 Corinthians 7:10-15). (Bylaws, Article VII, Section 2, paragraphs j and k; Article VIII, Section 5,
paragraph e.)
QUESTION: Women in Ministry - ANSWER-The Scriptures plainly teach that divinely called and
qualified women may also serve the church in the ministry of the Word (Joel 2:29; Acts 21:9; 1
Corinthians 11:5). Women who meet the qualifications for ministerial credentials are eligible
for whatever grade of credentials their qualifications warrant and have the right to administer
the ordinances of the church and are eligible to serve in all levels of church ministry, and/or
district and General Council leadership.(Bylaws, Article VII, Section 2, paragraph l.)
