On Sunday, the South Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, headquartered in Nashville Tennessee, made history by hiring their first two female pastors according to a statement on their website. With this action, South Central Conference joins a number of Adventist organizations that hire women as pastors.

Conference President Dana Edmond said in a recent sermon that the conference will hire women in the pastoral role, “Not because it is politically correct, but because the more diverse our staff is the more people we can reach for the Kingdom of God,”

Pastor Lola Moore was assigned to the Oakwood University Seventh-day Adventist Church in Huntsville, Alabama as an assistant pastor. In addition, Pastor Josie Frampton was assigned to the Ephesus Seventh-day Adventist Church in Birmingham, Alabama as an assistant pastor.

While women cannot be ordained as ministers in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, women do serve as pastors and are often “commissioned.”
