Women are the majority members in the AFMZ and yet they occupy periphery positions especially in leadership. Through interviews with male pastors, female pastors, deacons, and elders, two elderly women and focus group discussions with committee members of four departments within the church, this paper highlights the perspectives on women of the AFMZ. Even though AFMZ has been in Zimbabwe for more than a century and women are the majority, AFMZ is still lagging in promoting equality between men and women especially in leadership. The picture that is painted may be an indication of the church’s perspectives on women. The study intends to highlight the perspectives of the church on women especially on whether they should be in leadership or not. Using African Women’s Theology to analyze the findings, it was observed from the interviews and the focus group discussions that there are mixed views on women among the members of the AFMZ. Most members are of the view that women are more hardworking, committed, faithful, more prayerful, and more transparent than men and therefore should be given more opportunities in leadership for better governance within the church. However, a few members still hold beliefs that women are weak, and they need a man in their lives for them to succeed in life.engApostolic Faith Missionchurchgovernanceleadershipreligionwomen200bookpart
