What is a Charter?
A Charter is to an organization as what an Ordination is to a person.
A Charter gives an organization recognition within the TCOLW organization as an Independent Ministry/Church.
It however does not make that organization tax-exempt. To become a tax-exempt organization, you must file the proper paperwork
with the IRS.
We will only Charter women into a Ministry Not a Church.
I feel this needs further explaination
We believe the role of a woman in Church is not to lead men but to lead other women and Children. We believe
that is the God Ordained role of women. We therefore will issue Ministry Charters to women to go and teach other
women and Children in their ministry. 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35, 1 Tim. 5:2, Titus 2:4. [Gen. 3:16. tells
us this, "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over you." To rule over does not mean to oppress
in any way. It means to be under the mans leadership in a Church setting as well as at home].
The womans role is no less important than of the mans in the Church as well as at home. But each role
is different and God ordained it this way from the very beginning. In Biblical times the wife took care of complete
household responcibilties and the raising and teaching of the children, and the teaching of her daughters and daughter-in-laws
and other women in her community. She did this of course in counsel with her husband. And the man of God knows that
he is to love his wife as the Lord loves the Church. That means he must give her uttmost respect and listen to suggestion
and advice his wife might give. This is true as well in the church. Men Church leaders are to do the same with women "being
silent in church" means God does not want woman to teach men in a church setting. They can however hold women Bible
studies, lead church music, sing in special music, teach chuldren Sunday school and many other opportunities. My wife helps
me teach the Bible in our nursing home ministry praise and worship services because the majority of people there are women. She
leads worship songs and reads and explains Bible scripture between the songs. TCOLW has independent Ministers
that go into nursing homes, Womens prisons, and other settings that are primary women gatherings to preach the Gospel
of Jesus Christ.
I hope that I have made myself clear on this subject. That the role of men and women are equal to God. One
is not more important then another. We charter this way because it is the way God commands it to be.
TCOLW will issue charters to those that are worthy of that recognition, who voluntarily hold themselves
accountable for such recognition, in sharing common callings, beliefs, missions, unity in essential doctrines, and upholding
of ethical Christian standards of the Bible and of TCOLW beliefs.Click on link below to see our beliefs.
