Christians for Biblical Equality
Organization
Founded in 1988
Vision
Christians for Biblical Eqality is a non-profit organization of Christian men and women who believe that the Bible teaches the fundamental equality of men and women of all ethnic backgrounds, economic classes, and age groups, based on the teachings of Scripture as reflected in Galatians 3:28. We believe that God has given each person gifts to be used for Christ's kingdom, and Christians are to develop and exercise their gifts in the home, church and society. CBE exists to broadly communicate the biblical truth that men and women are equally responsible to use their God-given gifts to further Christ's kingdom. CBE envisions a future where all believers will exercise their gifts to God's glory, with the full support of the Christian community.
