At the international level, which body governs the ownership of church property?

• A. State World Missions Board
• B. International Executive Council
• C. International General Assembly
• D. District Assembly

Answer: (C)

In this denomination, ownership of church property at the international level is governed by the International General Assembly. This body acts as the highest legislative authority for the whole church, setting policies and bylaws that bind all districts and local churches. Because it has the final say on church-wide governance, decisions about how property is acquired, titled, managed, or disposed of fall under its jurisdiction, ensuring a unified approach across the entire denomination.

The other bodies operate at different scopes. The International Executive Council handles the implementation of Assembly policies and overall administration between assemblies. District-level bodies deal with affairs within their own geographical regions, including local property issues within that district. State or regional mission boards focus on mission-related planning and funding within their areas. Their roles are important, but they do not govern ownership of church property on an international scale.
