Side by Side

Biblical Mutuality and the Call to Serve

Across the story of Scripture, God calls women and men to serve together – side by side – as equal partners in the mission of Jesus. From creation to the early church, we see a consistent biblical pattern of shared dignity, shared gifting, and shared calling. Yet many of us have inherited misunderstandings, cultural assumptions, or interpretations that have obscured this vision.

Side by Side: Biblical Mutuality and the Call to Serve offers a clear, accessible exploration of what the Bible actually teaches. These two companion videos – one in English and one in Spanish – walk through the full arc of Scripture, address commonly misunderstood passages, and lift up the stories of women and men who have served faithfully throughout God’s story. Our hope is to help the whole church live into God’s original design: partnership, mutuality, and Spirit-empowered service for the good of the gospel.
