FEB National released its latest Complementarian Congruence Team (CCT) report on Monday March 9. It asks questions about view on Article 9 of the AoF, current church practices in relation to complementarianism, views on our bylaw and position statement, and also how your church would hypothetically relate to FEBN on gender issues given a number of scenarios. The information will be used by the CCT to present an amended draft article 9 of the AoF and any bylaws or position statements by Sept 2026.
Churches are encouraged to stress the importance of maintaining a biblical view of gender in relation to the office of pastor/elder/overseer in form and function however possible. Suggestions include that gender language should be in the AoF, that our bylaws should be updated to include elders/overseers and not just pastors, to retain something like our ’97 gender statement, that departure from the Fellowship would result should any form of egalitarianism be introduced as permissible. We strongly encourage church elderships/boards to complete the survey and have all other elders/deacons submit individual versions of that.
