PCA Considers an Overture to Add Female Deacons

🔥 Is the PCA Considering Ordaining Women as Deacons? A Biblical Response to Overture 37In this video, I will explain the overture written by Pacific Presbytery to be considered at the 2026 General Assembly of the PCA. Here, our brothers unwisely and hastily propose a change to begin ordaining female deacons in the PCA. I do not believe that this overture has much chance to pass, but it does mark a watershed moment in which an entire presbytery proposes a liberalizing change to our understanding of ordination and office. I will comb through their overture, exposing its obvious weaknesses, especially as I give a more accurate exegesis of Romans 16:1, Acts 6, and 1 Timothy 3. The 53rd PCA General Assembly will consider Overture 37, a proposal to amend the Book of Church Order (BCO 9-3) to allow women to serve as ordained deacons.
