Considering that Jesus had female disciples, and Paul consistently
mentioned women as leaders in ministry in churches he founded, and that
he explicitly confirmed the right of women to prophesy in gathering for
the benefit of the community (1 Cor 11.3-16), I think that any church has no justification to prevent women who are called by God to be leaders. 

Now, there is the passage later in 1 Corinthians which seems to stand directly at odds with the pronouncement in chapter 11, where Paul says that women should remain silent in the churches.  But we have to understood that the subject that occasioned the pronouncement in chapter 14 is order within worship, not the place of women.  In the case of the church of Corinth, Paul advised them to allow women to attend he gatherings, but to save their questions for home.  That's practical advise for a church in Corinth; and the message remains the same: worship needs to be orderly.

As for women in ministry, I have to side with the pastor who said that anyone who opposes women is either knowingly or unwittingly doing the work of the devil.
