Women as ordained Pastors

Jordon Cooper has a very good doctrinal statement on the Bible's position of women in the ministry in the Lakeland Church webpage. I know in my heart that women are created equal in God's eyes, and am looking for doctrinal help from people like Jordon. I grew up in an environment that taught women are not to be ordained as pastors, they can only serve in positions where they don't teach and have authority over men (read Children's Ministry). I have been looking for scriptural documentation to counter this teaching. I believe Jordon's doctrinal statement goes a long way to help me see beyond my culturally influenced eyes.
