Churches That Do Not Allow Female Pastors

If you’re looking for a church but can’t find one that allows female pastors, don’t worry. There are plenty of options you can choose from. Here is a list of churches that do not allow female pastors:

Roman Catholic Church

  • The Vatican has stated that women cannot be ordained as priests.
  • The Vatican has also stated that the role of women in the church is to be subservient to men.

Eastern Orthodox Church

The Eastern Orthodox Church is one of the oldest Christian churches, and it has a history as patriarchal in its structure as any other. The Eastern Orthodox Church was also influenced by Roman law, which required priests to be celibate. As such, their clergy are all male. While women can serve as deacons in this church body (and they do), they cannot be ordained as priests or bishops because they were not allowed ordination at the time that this tradition was handed down from generation to generation.

The Eastern Orthodox church is also known for having many different branches: these include Greek Orthodoxy and Russian Orthodoxy, among others. It’s important to note that each branch of this religion has its own rules regarding female leadership—some allow it while others do not.

Southern Baptist Convention

The Southern Baptist Convention, which is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, does not allow female pastors. This conservative denomination adheres to a strict interpretation of the Bible that states that only men can be pastors, and it has a long history of making this belief clear at its annual meetings. This year marked the 100th anniversary since women were first allowed to attend as delegates, and women still do not have equal voting rights with men.

The Southern Baptist Convention is part of a conservative network of churches called the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), which includes many other conservative denominations such as Assemblies of God and Seventh-day Adventists. The NRB members vote on important issues together, including whether or not they should allow females into leadership positions within their churches

United Methodist Church

The United Methodist Church is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination within the tradition of the Wesleyan movement. The United Methodist Church has more than 12 million members worldwide. It is the second-largest Protestant denominational church body in America, after The Episcopal Church.

American Baptist Churches USA

American Baptist Churches USA is a denomination of American Baptists. The church does not allow women pastors and has no plans to change that policy, even though many other mainline Protestant denominations have ordained women as pastors. However, women can be deacons in the American Baptist Church USA.

Deaconesses were once common in Christian churches and in some cases still exist, but they are not recognized by most Christian denominations as having been ordained or holding any kind of special spiritual authority or power over men. They are often considered to be similar to elders (or presbyters) who serve on church boards and perform other duties needed for smooth running of the congregation’s daily operations; some deacons do not even work full-time positions outside of their positions within the church itself; such people may only serve at early morning masses before going off to their regular jobs during normal business hours so they don’t disrupt schedules too much when they’re needed elsewhere later on throughout their weekdays while others may choose not attend services at all because it would interfere too much with either schoolwork or family obligations since students generally aren’t allowed time off from school unless there’s an emergency situation such as illness among family members requiring attention outside normal working hours which means most schools require parents who need extra caregiving assistance during those times go without child care providers until after 5 p m when classes end normally if possible then again this might also mean losing wages earned through employment so there could be consequences depending how bad things get

Assemblies of God

The Assemblies of God is one of the largest Pentecostal denominations in the world, with approximately 65 million adherents worldwide. The group was founded in 1914 and is not a member of the National Council of Churches.

Because they are not an ecumenical organization, they have no official statement regarding female pastors or eldership at this time; however, their bylaws do explicitly state that only men can be ordained as ministers within their denomination.

Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a mainline Lutheran denomination with approximately 2.2 million members. It is the second largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.

The LCMS was formed in 1847 when most of its founders came out of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio and Other States, which had earlier seceded from the General Council and united with German-speaking Lutherans based in Pennsylvania to form the General Council for Uniting Canadian and American Churches (GCUAC). The LCMS has ordination standards that only permit men to be ordained as pastors, deacons and bishops, meaning no woman may hold any leadership position above an assistant pastor at an LCMS church.
