There are six female Nazarene senior assigned pastors in the Front Range megaregion. That's 8% of the senior assigned pastors here. The largest church attendance with a female pastor is 92; however, the median attendance is 25. Two-thirds of the women have served in their current assignment for less than eight years. It seems as if there is going to be enough churches to reach the coming population expansion in this megaregion, women seeking ministry will have to be sought, encouraged, and nurtured into ministry just as much as men. There is a clear emphasis on male leadership when there honestly may not be enough men available or responding to the call to preach. Whatever may be the case, where are the women and who will open doors, clear the pathway, and become mentors for them? What would it take for a current pastor to mentor more women into ministry?
