No, a woman can, and probably should, be the teachers children at church.

This raises up godly men who can fulfill their role as leaders and teachers of the Word to adults in Church without whom there is no Church.

There used to be a saying that behind every successful man there is a woman.  That means that Men need the Support of Women to fulfill their role as  men and without it they fail.  Likewise for Women, they need the support of Men to successfully fulfill their God assigned role, it's a two way street and one on level ground with both being equally important, even though different, to bring about God's plan for Mankind.

The farther away from this we move, the farther away from God we move.

Fjk Thanks that is what I was confused about teaching children. It sounded like earlier post I read did not approve of any teaching at church by women at all. I don't know about other churches I have been to some Baptist churches where a man or woman or both taught Sunday school. I was not troubled by a woman that knew the Bible better than me as much as I was by the Sunday school pamphlets they used.

Read about Artemus and what Paul was really teaching about concerning women that were well off and converts from the previous pagan practices in their Diana temples..

Ha, I just thought yet again of something I knew, experienced,  have and appreciated for  years. Having been an employee of a church and school for  some 14 years, one with 12 elders ( males), 12 deacons (Males), and numerous deaconesses (female); all having their set order within the church body of some many hundreds of people. I  remember that I found through experience that it is the church secretary that has the knowledge and the skill to push on a rope successfully.

 Those female church secretaries know what needs be known and done, including  good counsel on how to do it in the local body. The secretary(s) do so without a bit of leader authority, nor any praise to speak of, yet they do well, doing all to the glory of God in the name of Jesus our lord and savior. They were my strongest asset in the years of my own dealing  with all the facets of church life nearly 24/7  for 14 years as a fellow employee within the ministry that is the local church body.

I was involved in school management for 7 years, and I found that to absolutely be the case regarding school secretaries!  They were the unofficial tender of the grapevine, that caused so much to operated.  If you wanted the inside scoop, the common wisdom was to confer with them.

Yep,  I was involved with two schools one full time for those 14 years. Yes the secretaries were the ones  that knew what the administrator  should know and should be doing. Their talent again, was to push on the rope and see if something on the other end moves or gets moved.
