Women in Ministry | Nazarene Presence in Arizona Sun Megaregion (1917-2017)

This infograph speaks loudly enough without much commentary.

Interestingly, there are three male & female pastoral teams: two are spouses, and another is an associate along with a retired DS as interim. 

The traditional cultures enmeshed within this context may not make it easier to provide routes for women into ministry as a senior pastor. The viability of some of these congregations may make it impossible without multiple charges. Almost all of the female ministers in senior or co-pastoral ministry have been assigned to their current church within the last seven years.
