In 2022, South Point Community Church shifted their position to affirm women for all roles of ministry and leadership. This was the result of an intentional congregational process. Tracy Lepp and Dave Bretzlaff offer the biblical rationale and passionately cast a vision for why and how other churches can move in this direction too. 

South Point Community Church is an ONMB congregation in Leamington, ON. Dave serves as Lead Pastor and Tracy serves as a Volunteer Coordinator.
