(From the article)
For the Evangelical Free Church of America, it will take “all people on mission to all people” for us to see significant movement toward the fulfillment of our mission to glorify God by multiplying transformational churches among all people. It is essential that we more fully engage the rich diversity of individuals in the EFCA in the active fulfillment of our mission. The demonstration of ethnic, gender, generational, geographic and socio-economic diversity serving on mission together will make an incredible statement to a lost and broken world as well as be a genuine blessing in each of our lives. This truth is abundantly clear as we consider together how women can best glorify God through the stewardship of their leadership and teaching gifts within the local church to the accomplishment of the mission to which God calls us.
